Slim Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 if you want a conversion hi spec have got my dimensions it is in the book if anyone was looking for ultimate braking Quote
ecksjay Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 is yours a turbo?hmmm, 4pot calicers and 300mm discs would look lovely on my glanza.... how much it set you back? Quote
lobotomy Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 300mm discs on 15" wheels wawaweee... Quote
SiCaln Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 when i asked they were looking for about £800! maybe a better bet to go for some Wilwood ones, heres a post bout it on gtturboGTTurbo Quote
ecksjay Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I found some wilwood starlet kits on the jap auctions, but they wanted over a grand for emvery sexual, but i couldnt justify spending that!it'd be nice to know how much these hi-spec ones are, if he paid £800+ on a uk non turbo, then he has more money than sense!as said in that thread, decent discs & pads are more than enough for the light weight starlet.

Slim Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 i paid 1k but the kit is 800 now they have my dimensions no afence mate but when you go for a good hard hack on a track or where'eva you got to have good brakes when you out brake cars like m3's who give it the biggen and laugh at your car and out do them round the corner's you soon see who i laughing anyway i need them for future mods i am hoping 180+ out of the 5efhe Quote
SiCaln Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 cant wait to see that 5efhe swap mate, oh by the way did Hi-Spec also groove your rear discs 4u? Quote
Guest Enzo Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 hay slim,you know the score when it comes to what you want!id love a shot of your sr just to get a view of the overall driving inpression of it,my glanza brakes are very good for shaving off big dolops of speed....so id love to know what your hi spec ones have done for sheer stomping abilityall your mods you have done so far have been thoughoroly thought out mate, and looking forward to any future mods you have planned, are you goin to jae this year mate?

lobotomy Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 a better bet to go for some Wilwood onesA couple of my mates have ran with wilwood brakes, they didn't like them. They both said under heavy braking the calipers flexed making it feel like bad brake fade after a pretty short drive. Quote
lobotomy Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Then again it was both GT4's that they had them on (1200kg+) so I'm sure they probably wouldn't be too bad on a GT or Glanza. Quote
Slim Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 SiCalnna i got the rear disks from fensport they are from the turbo version Enzothey are really good i melted my pads as i had a soft pad for the just a fast road i now got a fast road/rally slightly harder Frodo are meant to be bring out a pad this year (was rumored) i am just finishing running the pads in i had to do 500 miles just to make sure then ill test the differenceJames Quote

Slim Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 wish i kept my sr to have a set up like yours Slim mine was near enuff same as urs apart from brake conversion!Accch well lol<{POST_SNAPBACK}>thanks mate Quote
SiCaln Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 oh got ya, but i meant did they grove the rear discs? Quote
Slim Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 oh got ya, but i meant did they grove the rear discs?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>they sell them groved and you can get drilled one's aswell Quote
Simon Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 What Fensport do is sent stock discs to black diamond then get them to grove them but what the point in doing this? Nearly all the braking is done on the front of the starlet all you really need is a set of better pads on the rear that will withstand the extra heat of a track day.Simon Quote
