Hey, i never hear about impressions of the brake upgrade. Did you find the front brakes having too much power? I'm concerned over the bias changing... Finding a rear setup is proving challenging..

I ran OEM Supra pads and rotors on the front and Akebono premium pads in the rear to correct the bias.

You should be fine if you do something similar. Whatever front pad you do, just get the next more aggressive pad for the rear. The only problem that I can recall was flatspotting the front tires on a 40* wet morning.

That was the only time I unintentionally locked up the fronts.

I have EBC reds in the front with my TT brakes and ceramic pads in the back. There was a thread a while ago about how much extra braking force the car has with different brake upgrades. I wouldn't worry about the affect on brake bias for daily driving.

Great, i guess i won't worry about it then. Just better pads for the rear, simple.

Did i mention how nice it is having a whole spare parts car?? Got another rear set of calipers to pretty up to match my fancy wilwoods...




I chose VHT black wrinkle paint. Hopefully it matches

Man you scored on those brakes.. I have the 4 pot Wilwoods also in the front? Much better than stock. You're are going to like them.. I need to upgrade my rear sometime in the future

Little bro's first whip! It's a GT celica that somebody put GTS badges on...

It needs an engine, plenty of those around, but i got a C60 6 speed from a gts we're gonna slap in too. Needs syncros, hopefully the gears are ok.

ALMOST bought these today, but one had a big ding on the inside lip...

Action Package!!! IIRC, all the action package cars were GT. I have yet to see one that was a GTS....

Have you been driving it? The brakes are going to make a huge difference. They'll match what I imagine the power of the car is like.

I only drove to work, so nothing over 30mph, but WOAH the stopping has changed. I feel the pedal is a bit squishier, obviously the front got a bit more mechanical advantage...

Waiting for the rear pads and rotors to show up.

HOT DAMN, this thing can STOP! From 80mph, it's nutty how much this thing tries to throw your guts out of you. Crazy better stopping, the ABS does a good job managing it. The seller of the wilwood stuff had set me up with his old rear pads and rotors, but changed his mind, so i ordered new drilled/slotted rotors with metallic pads, hoping that's a more aggressive compound.

I never messed with different brakes much, but wow, very different pedal now. The MK3 is getting my set of Brembos for sure!

I think it stops so hard, a little oil came out of my dipstick... Wait, that sounds weird...

bloodMoney

It's shocking how fast it stops now, huh? I loved it.

BAHAHAHAH That's what she said!
