Jamie1st Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hi guys. Does anyone know if there's a bigger rear brake setup that can be fitted to a Glanza? Gt4 etc? Or will it be wildwood/ksport Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Haven't heard of one as of yet mate it's definitely something that needs doing the only trouble is the handbrake cable Edited February 14, 2014 by JordanEP91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Pointless unless you add a adjustable bias valve as it's only about 15% of braking done at the rear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie1st Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've got a bias valve ready, competing with the car do I'd say it's crucial to set the car up how I want it to drive I'd say it's crucial so I can set the car up how I want it * Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 agree something for the rear brakes is needed, noticed once i put 4 pots on the front the back end goes twitchy when breaking hard, guess where the breaking balance is out now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Fit the same pad material to the back as you have on he front, make sure your rear disks are fresh, do away with the standard proportioning valve and fit an adjustable one. The only time you really need to shift your braking around once it's set is if it's wet out, bigger rear brakes are unnecessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Fiat turbo calipers and astra discs, you have to get a small amount machined from the inside of the disc.Think there was a thread on tgtt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We're planning on doing a rear kit, but it's a way off yet I'm afraid.... :-/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We're planning on doing a rear kit, but it's a way off yet I'm afraid.... :-/ what about the celica caliper setup? sorry for hijack? Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It's on the list, but getting the (re-stock) 4-pot kit bracket batch finished is in front I'm afraid! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Pity but priorities and all that jazz Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Contact sacha at wepr Im sure I seen a thread about uprated rear brakes being fitted to one of his cutomers glanzas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
