lui Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Did you find out what was causing the noise as you were driving on DB? Knackered front brake calipers probably sticking no longer want & just want to replace with uk spec now drove 90 % home from dragon ball without touching brakes just sounded like grinding metal to metal just need to replace now ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lui Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Going to see if these are still available looks like great prices too see thread link below : http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?241139-Genuine-TOYOTA-UK-SPEC-CALIPERS-AND-DISCS-BRAND-NEW&highlight=spec+brakes Hi All, I have listed below individual UK SPEC brake items that can be ordered as required. Clearly it would be slightly cheaper to but the kit as one, however I think the prices are still very cheap. Front Brake Disc £41 Each Rear Brake Disc £45 Each Front and Rear Brake Caliper £169 Each Front Brake Pads £39.95 Set Rear Brake Pads £34.99 Set Front Pad Shim Kit £11.99 Set Rear Pad Shim Kit £19.99 PLEASE NOTE ALL PRICES LISTED HERE ARE + VAT AND + POSTAGE IF REQUIRED The full UK SPEC kit that contains front and rear calipers and discs is £820.83 + vat. All you would need is brake pads and shims. I didnt include this in the kit as some people may want different pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd try your local dealer and blag as much discount as possible, you can get pretty close to the prices above from your main dealer. Front discs £52.86 inc vat each Calipers £196 inc vat each I wouldn't buy an old UK set unless the calipers have had a full piston out refurb.

I'm working on it & been getting some great prices so far Also going brand new cannot be bothered with second hand as you can get new what some people are trying to sell second hand for !!!

Robzki Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've never understood the pricing of s/h uk calipers. If I was going for bigger brakes it would be new uk or big brake kit. The s/h calipers can be up to 18 yrs old now but people will still pay £5-600 + its not cheap to rebuild calipers, just done my jspecs which I think were £200+ for the pistons an seals and then £80 for fluid. still need to get new pads etc. just couldn't warrant £1000 for new all round atm.

lui Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Couple of questions ??? Should I keep with using OEM spec uk disc & pads with uk spec front & rear calipers of would it be better to use after market disc like brembo 3G grooved disc & after market pads Or will all stock components be fine ??? Don't do no track just general use cheers Lui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
