millar11 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Has anybody got a rough idea how much the complete UK brake setup is to buy new? Or is there any other setup that is equivalent/better for good value. Currently just have jspecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millar11 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Jesus! I had around £1000-1200 in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Jesus! I had around £1000-1200 in my head. Seems a lot initially but absolutely worth doing. I've had mine done very recently and would now say the larger brakes are twice as good as the smaller ones ! For a car that produces so much power (especially a stock twin turbo!) and ability to reach the speeds it does that quickly...I would say upgrading the brakes to the larger ones is possibly the most important upgrade to do.

Swampy442 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just get the fronts then, thats the most important bit. Im sure if you find a helpful Toyota guy you can get front calipers for less than 200 a side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 They were just over £1200 not so long ago. Give Steve Manley a call to get the latest best deal on them He's at Inchcape Toyota 01865 291333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millar11 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Cheers guys. Yeah I totally agree with you Dan as I have all the parts to go BPU but want to get the brakes done first if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The brakes are only as good as the friction/grip that your tyres have with the road so bare that in mind too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 47730-14260 CYLINDER ASSY, FRONT DISC BRAKE, RH x 1 47750-14270 CYLINDER ASSY, DISC BRAKE, LH x 1 04947-14010 FITTING KIT, DISC BRAKE, FRONT x 1 04465-14150 PAD KIT, DISC BRAKE, FRONT x 1 43512-14200 DISC, FRONT RH x 1 43516-14030 DISC, FRONT LH x 1 04945-14110 SHIM KIT, ANTI SQUEAL, FRONT x 1 47730-14270 CYLINDER ASSY, REAR DISC BRAKE, RH x 1 47750-14280 CYLINDER ASSY, DISC BRAKE, REAR LH x 1 04948-14010 FITTING KIT, DISC BRAKE, REAR x 1 04466-14040 PAD KIT, DISC BRAKE, REAR x 1 42431-14150 DISC, REAR x 2 04946-14030 SHIM KIT, ANTI SQUEAL(FOR REAR DISC BRAKE) x 1 That's everything you'll need for the conversion front and rear, you'll either need to trim the edge off the smaller dust shields or cut them off completely. Note the front discs are handed left and right, the rear discs are the same part number both sides. I've included the anti squeal shims but you don't really need them, you get better feel without and with the stock pads the brakes don't squeal.

Dnk Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Get used and rebuild with chris wilsons pistons. Well worth it The trouble is used UK spec calipers sell for too much money so by the time you've rebuilt them your not going to be too far off what you can buy brand new for. A set of CW'S pistons will cost you £270 + seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I managed to find a full set of uks for £400 and with the cw stuff was £650. But if the inside of the piston ways are good then with the stainless pistons you cant go wrong. Easy to rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianhid Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Stock big brakes are the next upgrade I've got planned. Replace the front and rear at the same time to keep brake balance as intended, then take a really good look at the suspension. No point making it look good and go fast if you can't stop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
