Cheers peeps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) k-sport, WMS, and yes you can get D2 brakes me WMS with DS2500. really good setup. need to rebleed and could do with grooved discs to stop them squeaking but they are fantastic when abused!

Ryan5793 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I've got wms 4 pots now, which i really like with ds2500 pads. had a glanza set up before on brembo pads which were a good upgrade on the standard n/a breaks too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Im running ksports, love them ! Good stopping power and look the tits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-11 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm running the WMS 4 pots with ds2500 pads, cant fault them, they were fantastic on track! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 K-sports FTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 im running hispec 4 pots with yellow stuff pads which i found quite good but going to go with ds2500 next Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGGFOOT Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 are the starlet n/a brembo front brake pads same as glanza /turbo? or can anyone recommend best upgrade brake pads for fast road use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Get glanza/later gt calipers and carriers. 256mmYellow stuff pads, mintex 1155's, ferrodo Dd2500's budget allowing.Wms heavy duty discs 110%, 256mmDot 5.1 fluid or motul RPF600 fluid. And bleed all the old stuff out.Master cylinder stopper (not a crappy tegiwa one though)Braided linesThe last 2 are optional but you could do the whole lot in one go. This will be plenty for an n/a for road use and even light track work. Lots of track days you will want a setup with thicker discs which means Celica or Levin calipers and different discs etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangeestarlet Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 So my mk1 calipers and pads are smaller than a glanza and same as my n/a ones ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Anything that uses radial mounts can be made to fit, Brembo, AP, Tarox etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 So my mk1 calipers and pads are smaller than a glanza and same as my n/a ones ?I'm not sure of the change over dates but quite possibly yes.There's 3 different sizes I've seen.Typicalt are238mm most n/a's and some early gt's256mm later gt's and glanza, some late n/a's are also rumoured to have these.Solid front discs (not sure of size) no caliper carrier so caliper bolts directly to the hub. Would possibly need to convert hub to upgrade brakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Anything that uses radial mounts can be made to fit, Brembo, AP, Tarox etc. i need more info on this stuff, i fancy a second hand set of quality calipers and making a setup for myself. i can warrant the price of new gear when my car doesnt get alot of use.

pick1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Agree with the above there are some fantastic brake upgrades available like wms 4pots and k-sports but they are big money there could do with being a middle ground when it comes to the brakes for these cars as even upgrading discs and pads on the stock set up can't take much abuse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 ...extra abuse on the OEM size discs was the idea behind our 110% discs for what it's worth, for those on a real budget! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Can get ST185 Calipers for next to nothing Disks £60Then abit of custom work to get the disks machined which dont cost much Then the cost of pads Edited January 22, 2014 by micky boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flynn Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Im running ST185's, machined disks, couple of spigot rings and away you go!Shockingly good compared to the Glanza set up i had before......can late brake all my mates into corners and they give you so much confidence!Not done any track days so cant really comment on fade, but for the cost of putting this setup together you cant lose!

BIGGFOOT Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 cheers I need a better set up definatly don't the race pads squeak? Its a 96 glanza not sure if its abs or not if this matters, so I get wms discs and decent pads sorted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I would be interested to see how the wms 110% discs fair up to some abuse could be a good middle ground Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sa15cr Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I have celica gt4 4pot brake cailpers with superstrut celica disks drill to 4x100 unreal stopping power can not fault them at all. only down side is they only fit with 16inch wheels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
