rapidep Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I have read through enzo's guide on this setup, I understand that the discs are 5x100 so I would need prius / corolla discs, the bit i'm a bit lost with reading the guide is the spacers. I have a glanza and looking to do this brake upgrade, I would just like to confirm that I would need spacers to space the disc with this conversion? If so where from?thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Have you tried ebay? The spacer on my Levin conversion went behind the disc (longer studs required) and this of spacer isn't expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rapidep Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 I was looking at the celica st185's in the guide as I dont really want to go above 15" wheels. Think I'm going to scrap this idea in all honesty and just end up buying a proper conversion kit when I get all the dough together Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think I'm going to scrap this idea in all honesty and just end up buying a proper conversion kit when I get all the dough together Have done a bit more reading on brake setups aswell, is it true that just standard front discs, uprated pads, braided lines and a master cylinder stopper with be enough of an upgrade for a standard glanza? I may look to improove the HP later on but it well never go to 180 or more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raffi Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 You can buy longer studs from Toyota. Those from a Toyota Dyna fit, and they are approx 1cm longer than org. Starlet ones. My brother changed to longer studs when he bought som modified wheels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
