Suprash Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 How much Matt, and I take it its just the fronts.....????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 All, Glad you like them. I've taken some more pics, see link below. Sorry about the dirt but I have not had time to clean it up yet.... Pics Link How much Matt, and I take it its just the fronts.....????? Only changed the fronts but did put new braided hoses and Porterfields on the back to try to even up the bias. I'm planning to do the rears as well when I get the money.... They were around £1700 including VAT.... Do look good though and stop good as well..

osso Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 [snip] was talking bollox [snip] nice brakes certainly better than my jspecs! once i've got my stage 1 mods on the car my next step would be to upgrade brakes then clutch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Are they KAD calipers with AP discs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Blimey Matt, theres only a gnats pube in width between wheel and caliper - quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Nick, Yes mate they are KAD 6 pots and AP discs. With braided hoses and Poterfields all round. Osso, After much discussion about upgrading the fronts over rears I was informed that under normal braking this should not be an issue as the Supra's ABS system is intelligent enough to cope. I read some info by Chris Wilson on this and he seemed to agree. I will be doing the rears at a point in the near future though. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Neil, Yeah I know, looks kinda cool but I am a little worried about it... The guy at KAD said you should have 3-4mm ideally... I can here a clicking noise when the wheels turn in slow traffic as well but cannot see anything catching.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Weird - if they clear, then it shouldn't be that clicking as with the wheel turned it should still be exactly the same distance away coz its all bolted together. My UK's on my aftermarket 17s have about 5mm of clearance, except where the valve comes out and thats about 2mm!!! LOL!! I guess if you leave it a week or so, take the wheel off, you'll see if its been catching anywhere........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
