zaheer0027 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hello all What is the current going rate of a bbk upgrade with uk spec brakes front and rear? Complete calipers only. Reason I'm asking is that I'm looking to upgrade my j spec but here in south Africa I have to order from the dealer and wait about 5 months. If I can order the calipers from abroad and have it shipped that would be better. I don't mind used calipers of any brand but they don't come up for sale in a hurry. Any help appreciated.thanks.

Scooter Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Try a company called amayama, they are Singapore based I think but pretty sure will ship to you, their stuff is about 2 weeks to the uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Do you know that the discs are also a different size etc? Just that you're only after the calipers, or can your dealer supply the other stuff in a more timely manner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Try Steve Manley at Inchcape Toyota 01865 291333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 There is a full uk set just gone on the facebook group says can be posted anywhere at buyers cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Mark Luney just refurbed them, they're like new. Fully reconditioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanC Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 On a semi related note, I currently have UK fronts and rears, could do with new discs, any ideas where I can get my hands on some or do I just need to find any that match the default UK dimensions?

In terms of value for money, quality, performance and longevity the stock OEM discs are hard to beat, part numbers HERE I would avoid any cheap drilled or grooved aftermarket discs as they can be prone to cracking/warping.

Get a price off Steve Manley then see if your nearest Toyota dealer will match it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaheer0027 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've come across these on local Gumtree as well. The porsche brembo is a 4 piston.includes pads and discs. The amg brembo is a 6 piston.includes pads and discs. Total for both is r15000 or about 500 pound. I would still need to make up brackets and lines. If I don't come right with the oem calipers I might consider these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 As long as you have the calipers, the difference in price between small and large brakes is trivial. I wasn't including calipers if that's what you thought. I thought it was a bloody good price so jumped right at the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanC Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Tried Steve Manley, quoted me £150.33 for 2 front UK discs delivered (within mainland UK). Thought I'd try my local Toyota dealer (1 mile up the road from my work). £115 :D I'm over the moon, that's not even £60 a disc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah sorry mate thought you mean full set up, still a very good price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
