D3xt3r Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Trust me you can do nothing to jspec brakes to make them really good. Just swap to UK spec with good pads or go bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3xt3r Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'm hopefully swapping to UK specs soon as the jspec ones even with the cw road pads just let me down on the street. I cant imagine doing a trackday with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 What was it like doing Knockhill in the Supra? Tracks tiny, never thought the Supra would be any good on it but would love to hear otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supradeek Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Todd tracks actually quite good in the supra not that small when ur on it I'm planning on going up late in september theres another track night anyone can go would be cool to see other supras up there Brakes were very bad scariest moment when doing 120mph down the straight pushed the brake nothing happened shit maself stomped both feet on the brake then turned in and put the power down got the grip pheww must of taken the bend at 80!! How much will it cost me to get discs pads and new calipers UK spec how bigger are they compared to j-spec. I want to get as big as i can afford but not really looked into it so not sure as yet Cheers Deek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Deek, should have a look for a post by Nic, he was doing a group buy on the UK spec and think it was around a grand all in. I not long ago renewed all the brakes on my jspec NA and was amazed at the difference with new kit all round, I'm happy enough with the standard and have no issues with fade but then I'm not hairing round knockhill or in a TT.

HunterJ Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Deek, I upgraded my front discs to dba slotted 4000s... I'm pretty happy with them - I think they were around £230 ex vat. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
