Besides caliper color, any difference from the red kit? How much for the kit and will they fit on stock 17"?

Steve,

I'd like to know if those calipers could fit inside my RacingHart C5 rims (we measured the gap before). Is there any difference between the new kit and the old one? Appreciate it.

monoblock calipers. Refined, strong, lightweight. Because the caliper is 1 piece instead of the 2 piece construction like the ones before, there's less distortion at strong braking conditions.

Some internal caliper parts are now hidden inside the caliper to prevent any damage to them.

New aluminum 4-pot caliper maximizes brake pad to rotor ratio, bringing full potential of the pads.

developed in conjunction with a brake specialist (either AP or Brembo I guess).

easy bolt-on design. TRD logo, black calipers.


It's going to cost.......... I would except........ DOUBLE? the original TRD kit..... I dunno man. Ask Steve about this. I'm sure he can get us great deals.

Steve,

Can you please post on fitment behind stock 17" GS Wheels? I assume not, but thought I'd ask since this is a TRD product.

Globe, good info. I would guess it'll be less than double, or it'll be pushed up against Brembo and AP pricing, but who knows.

Steve, are the rear rotors available alone? If so, pricing please. Thanks.

I translate the feature for the new TRD brake kit. My Japanese sucks so bear with me.

Integral construction (the mono block) the aluminum 4 piston with the high rigidity & the high accuracy * light weight conversion it actualizes.

Until recently, the caliper which is 2 divisions - the substance is designated as integral construction, the caliper of the urgent braking time and the like - deformation decreases and braking efficiency has improved.

Because there is no extension of the conclusion volt/bolt like former separate type, linear the standing rising of braking effort is actualized.

Optimization of piston seal hardness and cylinder form et cetera is assured, the pedal stroke quantity is decreased by controling the piston seal deformation quantity when braking, linear pedal touch is actualized.

The other companies make opposition piston caliper - as seen, is, oil pressure is conveyed to the out side piston the caliper - making use of the pipe which is installed outside, (pipe out system) it is not, the caliper - inside the substance the oil road is designated as casting involving, (pipe in system) with thing, prevention of the damage by the stepping stone and the like simultaneously with light weight conversion is assured.

The 1.3kg it lightens in comparison with genuine, the operation stability due to unsprung weight reduction improves.

The mono-block opposition 4 piston, pad surface pressure is imposed uniformly, pulls out the potential of the pad to full. In addition, partial wear of the pad is prevented.

It tuned the mono-block aluminum 4 piston large-sized caliper - (the front), the front & rear sport brake disk (5 slits to enter), matching the private front & rear brake pad over detail, was superior in front and back brake balance, there is a rigid impression with linear, " braking of room " is actualized.
By the cooperation development with the brake special manufacturer, worldwide top-level efficiency * quality is guaranteed.

From the brake hose and private front & rear brake pad until volt/bolt the to kit we have converted over detail, it is installing possible with volt/bolt on.

TRD logographic carving being packed. Black alumite processing.

RacingAristo - thanks for the translation... sounds like those brakes kick ***. (Counting pennies...)

i guess the rotors are optional..???

thats an awsome lookling brake kit

it weights less than AP racing right? do you guys think it would deliver the same performance? almost?
