Nic Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 dammit, then what about the grooved discs, are they ok for the supra?? Shall I add a set of these to the shopping list Graham I use a combination of Project Mu SCR-Pro discs on the front, with 4 pot calipers, TRD pads and Cusco brake master cylinder brace, which is more than capable at hauling the car to a stop from any speed. The 2 piece discs are quite a bit lighter than stock, so saves on un-sprung weight.

Nic Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 BTW Toyota have recently moved the production of the stock discs for the Supra (and other models) from Japan to Germany, the new discs have a slightly different cross section designed to cool the discs better, they are also made from a different steel which is meant to withstand higher temps and improve braking. The new discs are slightly black in colour compared to the grey colour of the older Japanese made ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually sounds like a good idea... Can you sending me some pricing, as per your setup.... Discs, pads and master cylinder? Thanks, G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 A mate of mine has Project Mu brakes on his R32. He says they're great, but I still think huge turquoise calipers and discs look completely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I looked for ages to upgrade my Jspecs. Ended up with UK Callipers, Goodridge Lines, Motul 600, CW Fast Road Pads and DBA 4000 Wiper Slot Front & Rear Discs. DBA seemed to have the best comments for a sensible budget, although there didn’t seem to be as much info on the other makes. EDIT: 'I belive some tested/used some and found DBA to warp the least' As stated before, stay away from drilled discs, only from what everyone has said. See the attachment about plain, slotted & drilled discs. Part reasoning as well was DBA seemed to offer all the tech stuff and performance, where as the others didn’t – or wasn’t readily available. Also the slotted DBA’s don’t make any noise what so ever, which I know some slotted ones do. Their ‘PAW’ print design in the cavity (rather than the conventional web/fin) is supposed to offer 20% better ventilation as well. They also have 3 colour markings on them as well that change colour when they go above given temperatures, so you can see if you’ve been caning the hell out of them. They seemed to have put a bit of thought it to it and didn’t hide away from issuing info.Application_Chart.pdfMajor_Considerations_Track.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine uses them on his rally car in Aus, very very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
