johnny g Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Dude, get your car transported to Chris Wilson. He'll give it a go over and supply you with pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd not fancy driving with Jap fronts and UK rears, the braking balance will be all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Fit Toyota pads and discs I can get those for you at a good price just let me know, you have my mobile number Check the calipers are ok first, it could be down to failing outer seals causing the pistons to start to seize !! Infact if their 17 yr old calipers and havent been refurbed i'll bet a round of drinks they will need doing Pop the pads out and have a good look and ease the pistons back into the caliper, if their really hard to push back then i'd suggest an overhaul is due Edited December 16, 2011 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Why dont you just get Toyota pads and discs from Toyota B'ham near Fort Dunlop. Pads are £42.72 Discs are £115.31 all inc vat to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If you look in the "for sale" section on here, "b'have" is selling some part used UK spec pads and discs and a separate set of new pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I would seriously consider buying a set of 2nd hand jspec rears until you can get a set of UK spec fronts. The brake balance will be miles out bud and the one thing you REALLY don't want to have is the back locking up before the front. Having small fronts and large rears is just plain dangerous.

Balance them up with either JSpec rears or a set of UK fronts. ESPECIALLY in this weather, where tyres will lock easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you'll also need to cut off your dust shields if they haven't been removed already (Thinking that maybe the previous owner took the front UKs off to sell or something?).
