[pistolpete559]

hi guys having a bit of a drama getting discs and pads all round for my ep91 which i dont think has abs! toyota want nearly £300!!!! ;) what diameter do i need as there are several different sizes. it a 1996 ep91 glanza turbo i live in n.ireland. any help at all would be greatly appericated ;) .

[Guest Enzo]

there are only one size for the ep91 and your best bet would be starletgtturbo.co.uk

or toytuning for them, they are both traders on this site man

Your best bet right now Pete is to call Dave Burwash as he has the fastest response time right now.

Call him on 07852 295221, tell him what you need and he will sort you out with the correct parts.

I'd recommend 3G 10 groove or 3G 20 groove rather than standard items and also some aftermarket brake pads to match.

You may as well upgrade for a similar if not cheaper price than what you would have bought from Toyota.

Its not ideal to use standard brakepads with grooved discs so make sure not to skimp.

His website is www.starletgtturbo.co.uk where you can check out what is available.

Hope this helps.

I rang up the part shop for some1 i worked with not long ago who had an N/A, she needed the discs n they said there were 2 sizes avaliable....n then rang else where they said there was only one size

does SR hav different callipers to every other model? or is it later models have bigger callipers, ie same as Glanza's where as early ones are smaller

[Asad]

I could have sworn they do (i remember some1 swapping them with a white SR n a N/A) n they had diff brake calipers.....i think SR has bigger calipers aswell as glanza n other models have the small ones.

[Bourkey]

As far as i know the SR caplipers are the same size as Glanza ones. They are on mine anyway. I have also heard somewhere that the very later models of the n/a Starlets have the SR/Glanza brakes also.

Hmmmmmmm so there is two diff disc sizes....????

P.s bourk what are caplipers?

[Bourkey]

^^^ hohohohoho

They are the metal things the brake pads go in . And yes there are two sizes. Dub Se7en had the smaller ones at one point then changed them for the bigger calipers and disks.

ive got a twinpot setup at home i dont need.

it poops on the uprated disc/pad combo... pm me if youre interested.

[SiCaln]

i can confirm that its an awesome setup

[Jozinobi]

X2 - If you want a noticeable caliper upgrade the change from the smaller ones to the later calipers wont cut it. Go for the twinpot calipers, they are a good balance between cost and effectiveness.
