mrdsukautos Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Ok i have a major problem in the fact that my pads ahave gave up the ghost on me and i am travelling to Leeds and london on wednesday so desperatley need my car running otherwise my xmas break is screwed. I was told that J spec Supra TT pads were the same as the soarer TT pads So kind PAul at Whifbitz sent em to me with a next day delivery for today Pads turn up and are nothing like the soarer tt pads So does anyone actually know what other cars are the same as Soarer tt pads ? Does anyone have em in stock so they can send em out next day delivery for delivery on tuesday? I am in real desperate need for these and will be very grateful for any help on this even if you dont have em in stock but know the info i need to be able to get em i would be very grateful if you can post the info on here Cheers Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Dean, my supplier has j-spec front and rear TRD pads in stock, I could send by airmail which would take 7-10 days (bit longer due to Chrismas) or by speedpost 2-3 days. TRD pads, combined with braided lines and decent brake fluid will give you much improved brake performance over OEM parts on j-spec brakes. Email me on the link in my sig if you want delivered prices. ps. the j-spec calipers/pads are teh same as the Soarer and the earlier model Aristo.

mrdsukautos Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hi Nic I need these pads by tuesday mate so i can leave very early wednesday I was told that the tt pads are the same as j spec supra and also the gs300/aristo but the pads have arrived and they are not the same Perhaps it may be an idea to confirm with paul that he has deffo sent the right ones in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 there are a few posts in the forum somewhere about what other pads fit the import spec brakes. Are you 100% sure you dont have the UK spec brakes? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hey Mate - if you are really deep in the mire I think I have a set of Jap Spec CW pads - could get these out to you DHL on MOnday Give me a call 07939 111 877 Also - would give Steve Manley a call at Inchcape Toyota to double check on your part numbers for the Soarer and Jap Spec - I will be very suprised if the same - as the Soarer normally utikises the MKIII stuff...may well be wrong of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Checked the CW pads steve - these are the sme as the ones Paul sent - so will not fit either IMHO Looks like the std MkIV Jap specs WILL NOT fot Soarers - likely the MkIII will Suggest you speak to Steve Manley as we discussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdsukautos Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Cheers Paul but he doesnt have em in stock Ok the Jspec supra TT pads are not the same as the soarer tt pads they are the same as the 15" pads on other soarers The TT pads are unlike anything else from what i can find out I have found a set of toyota pads in stock so looks like these will have to do until the new year Many many thanks for all your help guys i really appreciate it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
