Guest Massimus Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 to go uk, do I need to fit new calipers as well? or just the discs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 to go uk, do I need to fit new calipers as well? or just the discs? You'll need UK spec calipers (that's the important thing), discs, pads, dust sheilds, anti squeel shims & brake lines. It's fairly expensive, but not as much as going for a "big brake" kit. Contact Nic on here for the cheapest price on the UK spec option. You'll ideally need to replace the fronts and rears at the same time. It's about £1.2k to do.

adnanshah247 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 did anybody notice the crack in the disk in picture 3! thats dangerous, trust me, get them changed asap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 A lot of people here on jap brakes simply change to stainless braided lines, fluid, good decent pads (say CW) and Toyota discs and this should be sufficient for fast road driving. If you plan on doing trackdays then perhaps need to definetely go down the route of UK spec brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 why brake lines? there the same... I would guess that Homer means whilst replacing them, breaking the seal so to speak, you may as well take the time to renew the hoses or go for braided did anybody notice the crack in the disk in picture 3! thats dangerous, trust me, get them changed asap! It doesnt appear to be a crack young padewan, simply a pad mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asad Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 my car is A JAP spec 96 tt and it has the bigger 4 piston front 2 piston rear brake setup. should it not be mentioned that all Jap turbos had bigger brakes from 95 onwards, earlier they had optional 17 inch rims with bigger brakes as an option which became standard i think in 95. I read this somewhere sorry cant back it up now but i believe its true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 if the uk brakes are a bit prices for you at the moment. go for a set of ls400 4 pots, and 315mm discs . thar a big improvment on the j specs and you can get them for pennies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this somewhere sorry cant back it up now but i believe its true. Not quite correct. RZ Facelifts came with the big brakes as standard (i have one) thats it as far as i know. That would be 96 onwards & RZ model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 im not going for a full conversion, got no money at the moment. will replace the discs and pads only. Does anyone knows where to get cheap ones thanks That's not a comment I would ever want to hear when discussing brakes! Get the most expensive brakes you can afford. As has been mentioned, if you can get brakes from Toyota, then do that over getting something from ebay... I'm sure I'm teaching how to suck eggs, but I would scrimp in other area's before being cheap on brakes tyres and suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
