The WMS-fit aftermarket pads are cheaper as well so it's actually "sensible"! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

( to fit under 15s - Rota gt3's)Sorry I didn't get staight back to you, I lost my home internet last night!If you could let me know:1 - Which kit you want (you'll have to print the PDFs out to test if your wheels fit I'm afraid).2 - Which pads you want.3 - If you want lines....I can work you out a quote!Id like to know the final price for everything delivered for the "heavy duty kit"any chance of a group buy price?We don't normally do group buys, the WMS kit is already extremely good value and there is far more demand than stock. We might look at it a later date, but we still deal with each customer directly, no "pot" etc.Again let me know which options/pads you want and I'll total it up for you!

Keri-WMS Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Just been testing the 15" SR Speedline on the 275x22 (4P107) kit: ----------------...and ths morning I've been testing the 15" SR Speedline on the 277x25 (4P109) kit! Ok maybe I'm getting carried away with the photography?Still loads of room with the thicker disc though, see below: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Cool 'artsy' pics Cool result too with the large discs. Im almost certainly going to be investing in this kit. My only worry with it is bleeding the system correctly once fitted (never done it before)Perhaps you could right up a dummies guide to bleeding your brakes?Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basically you just follow the Toyota / Haynes proceedures for your car even if you have WMS calipers, but instead of bleeding one nipple at each caliper (on the std calipers) you do the outer/top one then the inner/top one. Normally you would bleed the calipers in order of how far from the m-cyl they are, furthest to nearest, but check the manual!Isn't there a Starlet-specific bleeding brakes guide on the site somewhere I thought?

Ollie Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 does anyone know which kit will fit under a set of 15" rota gt3s ? not to confident in trusting myself with those pdf things lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 does anyone know which kit will fit under a set of 15" rota gt3s ? not to confident in trusting myself with those pdf things lol(FFS! ) send me your address by PM and I'll print some out and post them to you! I'm not cutting them out in detail though, get your scissors out!I've been tidying up and have split the info between the two "fits" (54mm and 55mm), updated prices/specs 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)Also I've done thunbnails of all the photos to save scrolling!

phil0694 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hope all is going well for you!! Will you be doing uprated disc's for the 275 x 22mm kit in the near future as I'm now looking at doing quite a few track days! also what other pads can you get for mine? Regards Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hi Phil, sorry for the slow reply!!!!From the 22mm thick discs and Red you're running, the upgrade steps I suggest would be:- EBC Yellows if you manage to get fade with the Reds (have you managed it so far?)....then....- 25mm thick discs if you STILL get fade, or if the 22mm ones warp (no-one has warped any yet as far as I know). You'll need the thicker caliper spacers+longer bolt kit to match, to make the calipers the correct width for the 25mm disc - I'm happy to re-build the calipers for you if you drain all the fluid out and clean them for me first!!! (just drop them off as you're local)However, if the Reds don't fade (some people race on them), and the 22mm discs don't warp, I would try the car as-is, because A. you'll have better brakes from cold and B. you'll have less unsprung mass with the lighter disc meaning better handling/grip and faster acceleration/braking!

Keri-WMS Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Fair enough, just give me a shout and I'll sort you out with some! (I can't do any for the rear yet as EBC don't seem to list them...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 HI Keri, would you know if the heavy duty disc will fit under my 15" team dynamic 1.2 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 HI Keri, would you know if the heavy duty disc will fit under my 15" team dynamic 1.2 ?Hiya, that's not been tested yet as far as I can remember, but you can check using the PDF templates.Drop me a PM if you're stuck!

ktl Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks, im abit lost with the template thingy. It looks confusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 PM sent, if anyone's totally stuck just PM me your postal address and I'll send you a 1:1 printout....but you'll have to do the cutting out with scissors bit yourself as it drives me mad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just a heads-up as we're down to the last few days where if anyone wanted to order a kit now I can just about keep it at 17.5% vat instead of 20%.The reason is that HMRC has made a rule that as long as something is paid for before the vat rate goes up in Jan, the "vat date" can be in Dec (17.5%) instead of being the shipping date (which is the usual rule, and forces the vat to 20%).So if anyone wants to dive in and save that extra 2.5% drop me a PM ASAP!

sx_turbo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 can you supply a 255 mm kit, with 25mm thick discs?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 what are the general opinions on this kit people? anybody used them really hard?im tempted to get a set for my ep95. im assuming they would be the same as a set for a glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 can you supply a 255 mm kit, with 25mm thick discs??I'm afraid not. Although I can get discs that size I can't fit the caliper that "low" as it touches the hub...What have you got in mind? We can probably do 262.5mm....what are the general opinions on this kit people? anybody used them really hard?im tempted to get a set for my ep95. im assuming they would be the same as a set for a glanzaC'mon people! Enzo, have you fitted yours yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have done a track day with no issues, and booted it around the Exmoor National Park with all its hairpins and sharp corners, Brakes never missed a beat and I never worried about them.
