lew777 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 just get standard disks and pads on the back mate the rear brakes only account for about 15% of the overall braking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie1st Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 You'll need bigger front brakes dude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 so standard disks and pads on the back ? as of that then what front brakes and pads should i be looking at getting ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 i suggest new calipers on the front mate if your running 270hp, the standard single pots will just not cut it!better to be safe than sorry ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyD Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 lol, surely you cant be running 270hp with standard calipers? if i were you i would invest in some better ones i.e wilwoods, wms, ksports etc but if not and you wana risk it on upgraded discs and pads then mintex or yellow stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 you must either be nuts or dont live near any corners . i only run ~240 and soon as i took it out for a spirted drive i came straight home and ordered a set of wms's worth every penny the stock calipers are shit at best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 haha i only got the car few weeks back you recon get better front pads and disks at front or are these disks ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 so get standard rear disks and pads and have wms brakes at front? had a look at some but cant seem to find any to buy ? any one give me a link ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 yeh mate, standard discs/pads on the rear then on the front, you can run grooved discs and uprated pads but if your running that much bhp then get rid of the standard calipers and upgrade WMS are a trader on here bud, try and contact him for prices etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 depending on what year ep82 you have, this is up to 92 -http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28282This is from 92-96http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28281 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 ok then mate ive got grooved disks on the front so you recon totally get rid of them , or get new pads and keep front disks ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 as i cant really afford to be spending 450 on set of brakes right now i want to get some brakes for now and then get some decent brakes im either thinking keeping my front disks which is these but with some yellow padshttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STARLET-GT-TURBO-EP82-EP91-FRONT-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-EBC-REDSTUFF-PADS-/290588138320?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a8671b50#ht_2646wt_952or going for this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-STARLET-GT-TURBO-GLANZA-V-EP82-FRONT-BREMBO-BRAKE-DISCS-MINTEX-M1144-PADS-/270908982999?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f136f06d7#ht_2322wt_952 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 keep the grooved discs you have now mate for the time being and get either some mintex 1144 or ebc yellow stuff pads for the front and as said already, there is no need to get much for the back as they dont contribute to much of the breaking so standard disc/pads will suffice but ideally, if you are running that much power, you need better calipers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 you recon the grooved ones i have allready are better then the brembo ones of ebay when you say caliper do you just literally mean caliper what hold brake pads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 those brembo discs are basically standard so yeh the grooved ones are better And yeh the caliper as in the whole thing that holds the pads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 never knew you could get uprated calipers to be honest could you give me a link to some mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 http://www.ksport.co.uk/order.asp?id=351&loc=2http://www.fensport.co.uk/Parts/Model_40/Category_11/3590http://www.rhdjapan.com/endless-super-micro-6-system-inch-up-brake-kit-ep82-ep91-61203http://www.fensport.co.uk/Parts/Model_40/Category_11/2441There a a few mate, there are also links to wms calipers i put higher up in the thread! there are also wilwoods but i cant get onto the site for some reason :S oh and bear in mind, a majority of the calipers are huge and will not fit behind a few wheels so either spacers or a new set of rims would be required some of the kits are also soooooooooo expensive lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 just get standard disks and pads on the back mate the rear brakes only account for about 15% of the overall braking.I'll think you'll find its about 60-40 As said above bigger brake are needed. but also Decent tyres.

mattyD Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 lol, i thought it was 70-30 but someone else said only 15 on the rear and didnt wana sound like a noob so went along with it :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 yes i realised they are rather expensive haha !! think ill be getting some 1144 pads or some yellow pads and then have to do some saving ! i got decent tyres all around got toyo proxes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 was just talking to a mate and he said about getting standard brakes of a bigger car could save me some cash and so the same thing?
