smithy23 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 My brother has a 93 celica gt-4. Wants some better braking and i was wondering if this car shares the same brakes as a j-spec supra? If this is the case can we bolt some uk spec brakes it??? Think ive seen some for 800 bucks!!! He was going to spend £500 on some drilled and grooved disks and some big hitting pads, surely the bigger brakes would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hob Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Its the st205, looks good next to the soop, but not as good! lol check the sig Err the st205 brakes are damn good, aftermarket brakes (not discs+pads) are not as good! The jap brakes (I have one) are the same as the supra UK ones & celica UK ones (toyota care if we crash because our cars are better ) they are 4 pot @ front and 2 pot @ rear. I would suggest new pads + discs (trd ones), someone on here celicaplus500? put porka brakes on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy23 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Do you have trd pads and disks on yours? My brakes look a little bigger on the soop, just tried to measure them and i do believe your right, by giove!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy23 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 About 315 mm and four pots on the front! Always thought mine were bigger than his. How do people cope with j-specs with smaller brakes, fry mine all the time, time for some goodridge, pads and 5.1 motul i think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hob Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Always thought mine were bigger than his. Yea were allways getting that Dont have trd discs on as stock discs have around 6k still left in them, but trd ones are good, http://www.fensport.com/ is the place to go TRD TRD Uprated Grooved Brake Discs for the Front Axle £203.00 TRD Uprated Brake Pads - Front axle set - Fast Road compound £89.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
