SupraMan Mk4 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Heya, I need to get pads and discs all round for my Jspec NA Aero. I was thinking of getting the UK Spec Discs (Larger) as opposed to the original Jspec ones that are currently on it. Does anybody know which dimensions I need to measure to ensure that they will fit, before I go ahead and purchase them? I have 18" alloys on them at the moment if thats any help. Also would I to order new calipers for the larger discs as well? Sorry Im a bit of a noob still when it comes to the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 You cant get UK disks and put them on a jspec car, unless you have UK Calipers. Its Jspec disks you will need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Jspec disks you will need So as i wish to go UK Spec, providing they provide enough clearance from my current alloys, I *would* require UK Spec calipers also. Thanks for the info.

Would rather not fit any spacers if I had the choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 From what I understand if you get j-spec brakes, good pads and braided hoses the only advantage of having the larger brakes is that they will perform better for longer periods of time due to better cooling. i.e. you can't really tell the difference between a good J-Spec setup and a UK setup unless on the track. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Yeah a good j spec set up, pads, lines etc is quite handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
