SkyJawa Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Anyone know how much I can expect to pay for UK front brakes from Toyota? I'm assuming Calliper, disk, pads - anything else required? Or should I just go with callipers and associated fittings and aftermarket disks/pads? I'm assuming I need: 2x Calliper 2x Anti Rattle Spring 4x Calliper Mounting bolts 4x Gasket 4x Assorted bolts - can't quite work out what they are 4x Anti Squeal Shim 4x Pin 4x Pad Spacer 2x Clip 8x Piston Seal 8x Piston 8x boot 8x Set Ring 2x Disk 2x Set front pads Also braided hoses and 5.1 fluid to go with them I'll source seperately and poss the disks and pads too. I've got this from here: Is there anything else I need, any other tips and any idea how much that lot will cost? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Neil, We do UK kits, off the top of my head front and rears is about 1595 inc vat and delivery. Also you can buy fast road pads and disks rather than OEM from us if you wish. Regards Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 Gaz, You're quite expensive for UK Fronts mate @ £800, Justin @ TIC would do them for £729.99, just looking to see if its any cheaper for me to get them from Toyota myself...... (but obviously thats UK standard disks and pads) Also need braided hoses (assume stainless better than zinc) and rear Jap Spec Fast Road Pads - on your site 69 and 51.20(on the group buy ) respectively. If ya could do the UK kit with fast road disks and fast road porterfields for £800 then I'd think diff Obviously still need the rears and braided too. What can ya do?

Steve W Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Neil... I WATCHED the bloke at work do mine ! ! VERY straightforward swap, the only 'tough' bit being ripping the Jap' dust (air?) sheilds from the rear of the Jap' discs... the spot welds were a bit stronger than they looked ! ! ALL BOLTS the SAME. Slight queery about which way to put the anti-squeely thingamies on the pads (even for HIM, and he's done THOUSANDS of all sorts of pads/discs !) but he sussed it. The calipers are both obviously 'opposed' pistons (=better) but the biggest 'VISIBLE' improvement (ie. SMILIE bit) was the front disc 'size'... the rear discs aren't that much bigger ! - bit of a let-down really (but s'pose that keeps the 'balance' thing right ??) The most 'noticable' improvement immediately after fitting them was being embarrased when pulling up at lights ! ! - I kept stopping 10ft short of where I intended to ! ! (the 'light-pedal' force is MUCH better 'cos of the big discs ! !) I always thought my Jap' brakes felt fine, they really only let me down a bit on Drags etc when trying to stop from ~120 in only ~200ft ! ! - now, have to feather 'em a bit to avoid 'skiddies'. DEFINITELY fit the UK fronts.... POSSIBLY fit UK rears (??) (I would 'rufftimate' the fronts ~20-30% better ? rears ~5-10% better ??? - could probably achieve same with rear 'fast' pads ??) FatS. (ps. did fluid change to 5.1, as, had to bleed all 4 anyhow ! ! and got Toyota fluid 'cos wasn't lot dearer than 'cheap' stuff - 1Litre did it AMPLE ! - I made him do it till we used the tin up just for piece of mind - only needed ~1/2 Litre really ??)

(the 'light-pedal' force is MUCH better 'cos of the big discs ! !) That was the most significant thing for me too. On local roads you get used to braking points. For about the first hour I was pulling up short at junctions roundabout and lights. Felt a right pratt. To get the shields off, I made a cut with snips to make a gap big enough to get a cold chisel above each weld and hit with 2lb hammer, one blow on each weld was ample, no problem getting them off. I did a complete fluid change to Motul and fitted SS braded lines. A great upgrade, there are few things you come up against that will out brake you, so keep an eye on your mirror.

Matt Harwood Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 The front dust shields are bolted on at the front. it's the rears that are welded on. You will need to cut a bit out of the dust shields to get them off the front, but certainly not big problem. (Unless you want to remove the complete front hub assembly). Well worth doing!

SkyJawa Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Cheers Phil, Matt, Steve - just what I want to hear I'm gonna go with the fronts, its just a case of sorting them now!! Gaz - c'mon - whats the best ya can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I should have read the thread title Fronts DOH. When you are changing callipers it is definitely worth sticking SS braided lines in. only adds a few minutes to the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
