SupraAyf Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Mate, the kit will cost you no more than £400 and you can do it yourself - it is dead easy. It may be worth doing the pads if you're starting with fresh discs though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Check this out Stevo from one of the traders on here. A full set of discs are less than 300 squids so I stand corrected mate;) http://miami-gt.co.uk/store/index.php/cPath/26_328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 i got my discs and pads changed for about £500....still a fair whack so use it to barter if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Likely to be Jap spec then. Is it a late or early car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Likely then to be jspec brakes, so not quite as expensive as UK's, which is nice for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 94 L plate It would be worth posting some photos so we can see which brakes you have fitted, as the Supra came with 2 size options. Discs should be around £150 a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Whats the cheapest option of upgrading the discs and pads to aftermarket stuff. Just for future proofing incase its not that much more expensive Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Whats the cheapest option of upgrading the discs and pads to aftermarket stuff. Just for future proofing incase its not that much more expensive Scott Scott, I'd ingore fancy drilled/grooved disks, especially if still on J-spec Callipers, and go for some stock disks and CW Fast Road Racing Pads which are excellent mate.

veilsideTT Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have stock UK set up matey but it was all brand new not long ago and ive already warped the discs. Stock is not an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have stock UK set up matey but it was all brand new not long ago and ive already warped the discs. Wrong pad choice or they're binding then. I've done several heavy breaking track days with stock pads without issue. In my experience most aftermarket discs are worse quality than stock.

couv3z Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 is there a thread(by thread i mean a retards guild to ) any where on changing brake disc's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm considering the following for my upgrade: Stock rears discs, TRD front grooved discs with TRD red/black or Hawk pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Stock rears discs, TRD front grooved discs with TRD red/black or Hawk pads Have you looked into costs/supply of these yet? Would be interested in your findings. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Briefly.. a few months back. Will be doing more research soon I'll probably be getting some bits from the US and brought over for me... but not the disks. Forgot to mention the braided lines too.

Thorin Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Forgot to mention the braided lines too. Brake cylinder brace would be a good thing to have too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's discs I need right now really. Will probably stay stock and CW pads. I have braided lines already. Well worth while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 If you're running UK spec discs that sounds like a good combo. I'm only thinking about upgrated bits as I dont really use my car on the roads as much so I can splurge a little on more aggressive items. Thorin, wassat and why?
