SteveR Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Nic, any chance you could post up what a "good price" is please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungy Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Interested in prices and what advantage these would have over j-spec, would I be disapointed or should I go B.I.G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Interested in prices and what advantage these would have over j-spec, would I be disapointed or should I go B.I.G. Advantage is UK brakes are bigger so will dissapate heat better than our smaller J-spec brakes, so repeated 'spirited' applications of the brake pedal sould see less/no brake fade when compared to J-Spec brakes. Smaller brakes are not really an issue unless you're either braking from very high speeds or repeatedly working the brakes pretty hard - the porblem is you'll only find out how far you can push them by pushing them too far, lol.

Guest sunnyG83 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Steve when the brakes left the toyota factory im guessing they were checked/tested so in other words they are second hand Might have a set of rear UK clipers for sale very shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front 4 pot calipers, shim kit and fitting kit = £385 including airmail to UK (2-3 days) or £355 including surface post to UK (4-5 weeks) IN STOCK Rear 2 Pot calipers and fitting kit = £385 including airmail to UK (2-3 days) or £355 including surface post to UK (4-5 weeks). NEED TO ORDER Front and Rear calipers = £750 including airmail to UK (2-3 days) or £700 including surface post to UK (4-5 weeks). Discs are very heavy and expensive to post, so better to buy there.

Let me know if your interested. Argh, yes I'm very interested but if(?) your sale is time-dependant I will struggle to get the cash together mate. Also I'd need to know what state they're in etc...

dangerous brain Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm not sure I'd 100% trust second hand brakes TBH You know that just doesn't make any sense at all. You buy a second hand car no problems. That car has not got brand new brakes on it but you'd trust them???? Obviously you would be carefull after fitting them to test them in a safe way but why brakes would be untrustworthy just because they are not new baffles me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
