brake sizes

[gaijin]

Just to put my head straight in my head.What are the brake disc sizes,front and rear for UK and j-spec TT's?Also are US discs the same as UK ones?

[merckx]

Front 323mm

 

Rear 324mm

 

UK brakes are the same as the US ones.

 

Edit: These are the larger UK spec brakes which were fitted to some J spec cars aswell like Steve pointed out.

 

Not sure of the smaller brake disc sizes.

ALL the UK TT's have the larger discs/calipers, but MOST of the earlier Jap

TT's came with the same smaller brakes as the N/A.......

 

[think the larger brakes were an OPTION on early Jap TT and then become

STANDARD on later ones ?????????]

Thanks mates.The reason i ask, is that there is a company in the US that does a set of discs(f/r) for $210-00.Vented,grooved and drilled for the US spec TT,so if they are the same and the p/p isn't a killer(will find out)why not?

A set of front brake discs is VERY heavy (over 20kg from memory), so don't expect the postage to be cheap, unless you get them sent by sea freight rather than airmail. Are they genuine Toyota ones?

 

edit: just noticed you said they were drilled and grooved, so they won't be Toyota ones, I would definitely recommend getting genuine Toyota discs instead, stay away from drilled discs as they are prone to cracking and of no benefit on the road.
