Ep91 kid Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Forgive me for asking something which has probably been answered a 1000 times but what discs and pads would you recommend for a glanza running approx 150 bhp? Also is there an upgrade for the rear discs as I can only find oe for sale? Cheers Quote
Johnboy GT Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Tuning Developments and I'D workz do a package of EBC dimpled and grooved front discs and EBC pads I believe. Which in my opinion would be fine for that sort of power. I'm sure there is dimpled and grooved rear discs available also. You could however just upgrade your rear pads.John Quote
Ollieh17 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Id go for a celica conversion or levin twinpot. Down the line you'll probably want better brakes so may aswell get them out the way first. Pretty sure you can get a kit off here for similar price to these fast road setups. On my v the standard brakes were always shit no matter the pads disks etc Quote

Bean Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Im running 150bhp in my gt and i have adl discs on the front with mintex 1144 pads and stock rears. Ive had my rear brakes in bits and replaced a dodgy piston and all the sliders have been out and greased up so the calipers are working well. The front have been replaced at some point too. I use the car daily and i think its a decent setup which doesnt cost much. Edited September 17, 2015 by Bean Quote
akyakapotter Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Dip in and get ksports worth it imo Quote
5e colin Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 im using levin twin pots with astra disks cut down to size ( apec 2188 ) no spacers required Quote
sosolid Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 what year celica we talking? how bigger are they than the glanza ones? Quote
Ep91 kid Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 what year celica we talking? how bigger are they than the glanza ones?You just asked my next question lol. Quote
Ep91 kid Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Dip in and get ksports worth it imo What sort of cost am I looking for a set of k sports? Are they easy to fit? Do I need much else to fit them? Quote
Keri-WMS Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 There's our 110% heavy duty discs and DS2500 pads to fit the Glanza original caliper if you can't stretch to 4 pot brakes (WMS or otherwise). Quote
H_D Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 drop russ78 a pm he sells the Levin and celica kits with disks and pads Quote
TimD Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 WMS 4 Pot, with Ferodo DS1.11 pads, they're brilliant. Quote
Phil Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I'm using wilwood setup Works wellPhil Quote
Ollieh17 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Wilwoods are cheap too! Seem to be some massive price difference between them and others Quote
Phil Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Wilwoods are cheap too! Seem to be some massive price difference between them and othersWell by the time you get all the bits together you could buy a wms kitPhil Quote
Mad Mike EP82 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Standard calipers with good pads and fluid is more than enough for the road. Quote
Gainzy Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 WMS or Wilwoods great but what's the point with 150bhpOEM discs and pads on the backGrooved dimpled yellow pads on the front saves cash and will do the job well. Braided hose's to, just my opinion Quote
ROTABOOST Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I have Wilwoods, they are one of the best mods I've done to the car! Feels like it's going to stand on its nose lol Quote
nikhilkamdar12 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 If i got about buying a Willwood setup like the one above, which specific caliper do I need, brackets and discs do I need to get it fit my V? Or do I need to get some brackets made up for me to fit the caliper? Thanks Quote
Ep91 kid Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 Only running 150 at the moment but looking to hit the 200 ish figure in the coming months. Do you need to get rid of the abs for any if these setups? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Rather be 'over braked' for the power than over powered for the brakes... Easy to keep adding power than realise the brakes are shit. Personally wouldnt waste any money on the standard front brakes. Had them rebuilt new disks, pads braided lines fluid etc, still had more faith sticking my hand out the window to slow down. Quote
Arnold Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I've got the EBC discs and pads and managed to crack a set after not very long. Received a second set under warranty, and they're pretty good, use them on track etc but I know the Wilwood or K Sports would be much better. Don't forget tyres though. If you have amazing brakes and shit rubber, you'll not slow down that quick! Quote
