A L 3 X Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Right, I've been considering a brake upgrade for a while, and am thinking of going for one in payday, been thinking of going for the cheap WMS kit, but are these any good? And what elseWould people recommend if not?My first question...will there small kit fit under some15x6.5 et 40 rota grids?Secondly, if I buy this kit does it come with everything needed to fit for the 420 odd quid, such as discs and pads etc?Also, I currently have braided standard lines, do these fit orDo I need to changeThose?Finally, are they a worthwhile upgrade, or willMy abs just constantly kick in?

Liam_D Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Mate my WMs Kit was probably the best mod I've done! Gives me so much more confidence when driving hard.To be honest I would have happily payed more for the kit, the quality of the parts and the fitment is excellent. Pm keri and get him to send you out a template to make sure they fit under your wheels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Right, I've been considering a brake upgrade for a while, and am thinking of going for one in payday, been thinking of going for the cheap WMS kit, but are these any good? And what else Would people recommend if not? My first question...will there small kit fit under some 15x6.5 et 40 rota grids? I'm not sure about the Grids - they do fit in the 15" Rota Auto X and 15x7 Rota Slipstreams. I can send you a template to check your wheels if you like? Secondly, if I buy this kit does it come with everything needed to fit for the 420 odd quid, such as discs and pads etc? The basic "kit" in each case is discs/calipers/brackets/bolts - normally people also need to add out brake lines and their choice of pads. Also, I currently have braided standard lines, do these fit or Do I need to change Those? The WMS calipers and Toyota calipers are different fittings, so you can't use Toyota-fit lines on a WMS kit. Finally, are they a worthwhile upgrade, or will My abs just constantly kick in? The ABS should work normally but you'll have better feel/feedback, lighter brakes (= better handling), better heat/fade resistance and of course the extra torque available for when you need it!

Liam_D Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Can't remember the price mate, think it was in the region of £500 was a while ago now though. I want for the 275mm kit with yellow stuff pads and they wernt the best. Changed to DS2500 and now they're amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are available in black with white lettering, or white lettering on a black background! There's a batch due VERY soon, nearly all of them have been sold in advance thanks to word-of-mouth recommendation which is always nice - a few left though.....
