pbryant_knight Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 HI all, Ive decided that i'm going to try to sort the calipers in my first effort to stop the wheel noise from the front passenger side. I know one is sticking slightly anyway so they'd need doing eventually. Had them freed off when i had the new discs and pads put on but don't think that did much. Was looking at rebuild kits on eBay but not sure what i would need. all the kits look different. My car is a 1996 jap N/A, can anyone post up a link of a kit on ebay that will do the job? Failing that, does anyone have some standard jap calipers that have maybe already been refurbed? Maybe after you've done a UK or big brake upgrade?

Nic Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 First thing to do is to identify which brakes you have fitted (the J-spec Supra came with 2 options), see pics here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?249089-Supra-Brake-setups&highlight=brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Give CW a call, he sells the seal kits and pistons for both types of mkiv caliper. If you have the smaller brakes, 2 piston front 1 piston rear the problem could be wear and corrosion on the sliding pin part in which case if their very bad they might not be worth refurbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looking at thopse pics in the thread, mine seem to be the 2 pot front one's. So if it's worth getting new ones how much is it likely to set me back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The calipers are approx £200 each from Toyota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Well, got a cheap rebuilt caliper from ebay and it's cured the problem right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
