sideexitsupra Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Is your car only ever run on the road or do you track it too? Lots of fancy stuff out there but check with Paul at Whifbitz about Porterfield pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 What are you using it for? If its just road then OE Toyota discs and pads will be fine and save you some money Ill bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the discs I'd go for the cheapest option or just fit a set of stock discs which will be just as good. If you fancy spending big money, a set of Project Mu SCR Pro would be my ultimate choice. Given the choice I'd go for a set of Endless MX72 Pads they're probably similar price to the TRD red pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pads, the Endless MX72 is 30000yen, TRD black is 19600yen. Which would you recommend based on cost and performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TRD black pads are good, the Endless MX72 are VERY good, they are worth the extra but depends how much you want to spend. http://www.endlessusa.com/brakepad/mx-72/ Edited February 27, 2011 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks Nic.. Ordering the Endless... Good choice you won't be disappointed What front tower bar did you decide on? The Carbing one includes a brace for the brake master cylinder which really helps firm up the pedal feel. If you're fitting a TRD Tower Bar you may want to consider a Cusco Brake Master Cylinder Stopper which does the same thing.

Samurai 20V Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks Nic. I couldnt find the Carbing Front tower bar, only the rear. I will keep checking, if I cant find it then I will get the TRD. Will check for the Cusco Brake cylinder stopper, and if fitting the TRD bar will fit that as well. Will keep you posted!
