hazell ep91 sr Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 my n/a brakes are piss poor at the moment, thinking of a simple cheap upgrade. would grooved discs and a decent set of pads do the job? thinking about getting grooved discs off ebay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 do you plan on going 4efte eventually? if so spend some extra, 256mm from a turbo are a lil bit better but nothing amazing. I've got them ebc yellows and ebc discs. braided lines and 5.1 fluid and 900kg car, and my daily corolla 1100kgs on oem mintex pads and discs also 256mm stops almost as well!!i want to go for levin twin pots or bigger celica single pots. bit of hassle but seems to be worth it from what most people seem to say Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazell ep91 sr Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 yeah plan on going 4efte. getting a rolling glanza shell with body damage, a write off so will take the disks and calipers and that off that yeah? dont need the hubs do i? then just upgrade to grooved and decent pads.

morgey Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 yea all you really need is the caliper carriers from it, then the discs, pads etc u require, also braided lines and new fluid would go a miss. then also try a brake master cylinder stopper ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5T4R7ET N/A Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 you dont need grooved discs, with modern pads grooves are not needed.just get some good quality discs and pads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Dont forget your tyres...alot of the times its the tyres which are at faultas for the discs i got 6x grooves in mine instead of the usual 1000x and im really happy with mine would highly reccomend a pagid disc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
