imi-7 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I have seen these brake discs and pads on ebay and am looking at possibly buying them, but they are very cheap...almost too good to be true. Anyone got any opinions on these for my N/A Jspec 1994 Soop:- Front Discs £99.99 for the pair: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-Drilled-Grooved-Brake-Discs-FRONT-NEW_W0QQitemZ290116580187QQihZ019QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Front Brake Pads £8.95 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Front-Brake-Pads-LEXUS-TOYOTA-Supra-LP1140-8H_W0QQitemZ220111173169QQihZ012QQcategoryZ100915QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Not really a good idea... They are cheap for a reason, and I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a decent set of brakes on my car. The discs will warp and crack because of the drilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Possibly the next most important area on your car, next to tyre's. Seriously, you wouldn't consider brake pads that cost £9 would you Madness. Get some CW pads in there, for me at least they made a dramatic improvement over even the most expensive alternatives. At £90 or so for a front set they are not expensive. Also, groved discs are going to decrease the braking performance for road use. Stock is perfect unless you take it on the track (in which case you should bin the entire jspec system).

John B Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I have just upgraded my jspec brakes using 3-G discs (made by Brembo) and porterfield pads this was a good but not too expensive upgrade. Have a search for 3G Brakes and see what they come up with ! Mine are bedding in just fine now the car stops ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
