Complete UK/EU brake set consists of?

To convert from jspec to UK/EU i need what?

Front/rear calipers

front/rear dics

front/rear pads

front/rear shim kit

front/rear "lock set"

- don't know what this is, but Toyota quoted me for it when I asked for brake pricing

As I've bought used front calipers (for 50£) I should get a "restoration kit". I haven't been able to find any info on this on the forum. Any idea of what it is called in english? I would love a guide to renovate the calipers.

Also, only thing I got with my calipers were 4 long bolts (guessing these are to fit the pads and a single weird clip and one screw.

Will I get ALL I need to install them with shim/lock kits or do I need extra parts to fit them in place of my j-specs?

Looks better after a bit of grinding and painting:

Just need some decals and a clear coat after getting them renovated (heard that I probably will blow some brake fluid out while doing this - possibly messing up the paint / clear coat)

you will also need fitting kit, front and rear dude(AKA Anti rattle Kit)

Thanks. I would guess this was the "shim kit" but I will look into that.

Anything else? (I was thinking bolts and stuff to actually fit calipers and discs and so on, but also the 'small things' like this)

no the shims go on the back of the Pads, the pistons push onto these, so you will need the Anti rattle kit

Great, thanks.

Found this:

04479-14140 Front Brake Caliper Overhaul Kit

and:

04945-14110 Toyota Front Brake Shim Kit (anti squeal shims for pads)

04947-14010 Toyota Front Brake Fitting Kit (spring fittings for pads)

04948-14010 Toyota Rear Brake Fitting Kit (spring fittings for pads)

I wouldn't bother with rear shim kit, better brake feel without them.

i thought i remembered this. you should have just kept this thread going bud.

Should probably have done that yeah. Sorry. Had most of what I needed there, but as I got the calipers now and found a few questions, I started a new one. Consistency is a great thing though, so I'm fairly sure of what to order now :-)

Thanks again

Quick question:

Does the UK rear brakes include drums, shoes and all? Or will I use the ones in my j-spec setup?

The rear discs just bolt onto the hubs, you don't need to touch the handbake shoes.
