el_man Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 right ive just had my td04 kit on my car and my brakes just aint good enough, i have black diamond grooved disc's and pad with 5.1 brake fluid they just aint cutting it, what other route can i take other than a willwood brake kit or wms as i dont really have the money Quote
riko666 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 AE101/111/ST185 Twinpot Brake conversion is a good and simple upgrade, price varies a lot though and they can be a bit difficult to find too! PM on it's way though Quote
el_man Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 hey dude i got your pm you got any pictures of the setup? Quote
el_man Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 maybe i could do with better pads what do people suggest? Quote
riko666 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Good pads, fluid and lines will more than be effective enough as well I've only ever used Pagid Fast Road and Hawk HPS+ pads before and was not impressed by either - the Endless pads are quite revered but are also quite expensive. Good reviews seem to follow the EBC Yellowstuff pads though, for a road setup at least Quote
durmz Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 as riko said, i suppose everything that can be done before bigger brakes, is 5.1 fluid, brake master cylinder stopper, that cusco strange contraption lol, braided lines, then id go ebc, yellow pads and discs and new discs and pads on the back too Quote
Sanchez Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Im sure there is an st185 twinpot setup for sale on tgtt, will see if i can find the thread Quote
el_man Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 i think i`ll give some yellow stuff pads a try the discs and pads i have a pretty new no lip on the discs at all jus a blue mark round em haha Quote

shorty Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 mintex 1144 pads ftw!!! not the longest life span and quite a dusty pad but jesus do the stop well! used them with 3g 10grove disks and tbh they are a bloody fantastic setup mate. stopped my td04 glanza no probs Quote
riko666 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showth...highlight=st185Single piston though Quote
whiteglanzav Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Oo my bad babe i wondered why he never answered my question Quote
Nick@TD.co.uk Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 any opinion on the yellows?Yellowstuff are very good pads and extremely cost effective, we highly recommend them as a good upgrade even on stock calipers, drop us a PM or Call and we would be happy to have a chat and help you make the right choice for your needs.Kind Regards,Nick JonesTuning Developments LTDWorkshop Landline - 01925 822266TuningDevelopments@Hotmail.comwww.TuningDevelopments.co.uk Quote
