Cool, will do - thanks! (and it's no trouble at all) I've had a look and I can JUST use a 263mm disc, if that's any help to people with smaller wheels - I even have a specific disc that'll work if there's demand for it. The alloy bell / rotor setup is compatible with 280x20.5 and 273x20.5 rotors, it might be that the 273mm version does the trick. I can drop to a pad radius of about 269mm on those rotors, but that would be it, smaller than that and it's one-piece discs all the way. I'd normally be happy to see what we can fit inside your wheel if you could lend us one - but I see you're not

Cheers chap - good to be here! Looking forward to getting that kit in action on your car, I'm pleased with the kit and chuffed to be able to show people.... ;) Hi Phil, it's limited by the lugs on the caliper vs the lugs on the strut. If you look here: ...you can see how close they are to touching! 3.5mm gap in fact. So, the pads are on a 272mm "swept diameter" in this kit, so we can drop to a MINIMUM disc size (with the pads totally flush) of 272mm minus (3.5x2) = 265mm. So I can do a kit that puts this caliper on a 265mm disc, as 280mm WMS kits fit in most 15's with a few mm to spare.

In this photo is the fitting that's half-way up the line the correct way round - or will it fit the struts either way round? What I mean is, should the tab that's on the metal tube be "caliper end" of the tube, or the "chassis end" of the tube? On the OEM lines it looks like they have it the other way round (see first photo under "braided lines" here to see what I mean: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2591 ). But of course it might not matter at all - has anyone got a photo of the tab bolted to a standard strut? Cheers!

Fair enough - 'tis true that a Mini WMS kit would probably be cheaper than the KAD version, but it would mean breaking into a very establised market. I'll let you know if I do go for it though!

Well the alloy bells cost would need to be confirmed when I get them in, but they'll be a fair bit extra....we don't normally worry about slotting rotors as it's largely for show, but can do them for a £48.00/pr surcharge as a custom job. The EP91 kit with the trimmings works out like this: Edited, updated prices are here: WMS Brakes For 54mm Hub Starlets (>92 Turbo (EP82) etc) & WMS Brakes For 55mm Hub Starlets ('92-'96 Turbo (EP82), '96> Turbo (EP92) etc) Cool, let me know - I'm in Hastings/Bexhill, East Sussex. Mail order only though I'm afraid in case anyone's w

I'll need to do a test-build on an EP82 hub, I don't have one to hand sadly. The main difference is that the EP82 has a 54mm bore, the EP91 has a 55mm bore. If you have an EP82 hub I can borrow (or anyone has a cheap EP82 hub for sale) I can get the EP82 version sorted out very quickly....

No problem! Advantages are: - The calipers are MUCH lighter, giving you better grip (less unsprung mass) as well as reducing the weight of the overall car. - The pistons are a bit bigger to give you better "leverage"....based on measurements I did on a Glanza ages ago it's a 6.6% increase, so a bit more power without a soft pedal or upset ABS. - The discs are bigger, resulting in higher brake torque for a given pad pressure. - The calipers are 4-pot giving better control of the pads and modulation ("feel"), even loading on each pad (no sticky sliders), and better pad cooling. - Heat resistanc

I agree. Most MFRs "load" the prices of their products if they think the owners of a particular model will put up with it - WMS doesn't work that way. We have several aims: - Bang for your buck. We don't sell anything because of it's looks, it's performance we're interested in. - Quality. Our kits FIT! You would be amazed how many other kits need extra machining, or have the wrong piston area etc. - Technology/engineering put to good use - like the brackets which are light (aluminium) but don't have weak threads (stainless insterts). - Customer service and support. We look after our customers

lol, cool! Lots of people are saying "after xmas" at the moment! The 2nd (last) kit will probably sell "very quickly", but I'll be getting a re-stock very soon, early in the new year is the plan. Alloy bells will be along next year as well (as a compatible upgrade, lets people improve things in stages).....

Speaking of carriers.....is that the same StarletRick I lent one to in 2006 to get him home? The car I'm referring to came for an upgrade test-fit (NOTE - we are not a garage though!), when I removed the existing Starlet one I could tell as soon as I tried to undo it that it had stripped threads (pre-existing) - amazing the caliper hadn't fallen off in all the time the guy had been driving it in fact! The chap wanted the std one put back on but I couldn't do something that dangerous personally so I took one of the MR2 carriers from my OWN car and fitted it on condition that he replayed his

Hi Guys, I run WMS Brakes, we've been doing motorsport / trackday brake kits for various cars for years but in particular the AW11 MR2 and AE82/92 Corolla (plus various Fords and BMWs etc but we won't worry about that! ). We've got some kits for the EP Starlets, pecs are: - 6061 T6 Aluminium calipers, CNC machined from billet and hard anodised, stainless pistons (1.38"/1.38"). - 6061 T6 clear anodised brackets, with VERY strong 431 stainless steel threaded inserts, "solid" type not "coil" type (this system is strong enough that we found during testing that an M10 grade 12.9 bolt will actuall
