ClaireRZ-S Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Right i've been looking at a few threads on here regarding the difference between the uk and J-Spec brakes. Someone said to me the weekend that i have the UK ones as they are bigger. The model i have is an RZ-S do they uk brakes come as an extra on these models? Just wondering because i'm confused as to why they arent J-Spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireRZ-S Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 haha oh right so i presume when ordering pads and stuff i get the uk ones instead of the J-Spec ones? Whats the difference anyway? Are the uk ones better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden1989 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 UK brakes are rubbish, how about i swap you for a set of lovely j-spec ones?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 UK are much much better, 4 pot fronts and two pot rears - noticed a massive difference when I changed from J Spec Edit: Sorry ZS1064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 RZ-S should have bigger brakes, mine does as do all other RZ-S I have come across Mine also came with factory fitted Recaros which I sold recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Didn't realise yours is an RZ-S Wez, is it a very late 96 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Didn't realise yours is an RZ-S Wez, is it a very late 96 then? I guess so. From memory the RZ-S also has the larger diff casing and yellow bilstein suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It's confusing referring to them as UK brakes, they are not exclusive to the UK Supra, many of the Japanese Supra model also came with the larger brakes as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Hi Claire. Yes the RZ-S has the bigger brakes fitted, a lot better brakes, I always buy Chris Wilson fast road pads and 3G grooved and dimpled discs, a few people on here use these, good but not silly prices. By the way you realy must bling your callipers up a bit. Bob. Edited April 2, 2009 by BOB B (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kammy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 How do you tell the difference. I've just had to replace discs and pads on mine for the MOT and I got told I had the bigger ones in my Jspec but how can I be sure, How small are the Jspec ones compared to the UK ones?

Wez Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The pics in post 3 of this thread are the larger 4pot/2pot brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 There are pics of the larger calipers here http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=98436 The smaller brakes look very different. If you're still not sure, post pics of yours so we can confirm which they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kammy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'll have to wait till I get my car then I'll post some pics as I def need to know which I have. Cheers Kam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
