Matthewep91v Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Drilled and grooved disk will help out with your brake fade also some better pads such as brembo or yellow stuff pad should do the trick.Make sure you have the correct levels of brake fluid in the car and there is no leaks.This happened on my old car and i simply bled the brakes and replaced with a premium brake fluid and it worked a treat.

Kazi Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 all the levels are good with no leaks. will get some new stoppers ordered over winter and get them on. thought it would be something simple like that. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 New brake fluid is always a good shout As above decent discs and pads to. You could always opt for a bigger setup like the celica or levin options Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Once you boil brake fluid it lowers the boiling point so make sure you get fresh fluid with that order. I would personally look at the celica setup, can work out cheaper than stock and is so much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kazi Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Which Celica set up we talking? The twin pots from the ss3/GT or the 4 pots from the gt4? Luckily I have both. I'm guessing the 2 pots as the 4 would be a pain in the arse for wheel fitment. The 2 pots a straight fit or any fabrication needed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kazi Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Ahh. Haven't come across a 185 with single pots. So is it the 185 single pots most people go for then? What's the fitting like on them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Calipers/carriers themselves bolt straight on, you just need to machine new discs and spigot rings to fit http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/49562-toyota-celica-st185-caliper-conversion-whats-needed/?hl=st185 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 If you stay on standard glanza breaks get mintex 1144 of ferodo ds500 or something! (Forget the exact name) far better than ebc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kazi Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Will try uprated discs and pads before callipers. And good choices for discs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't bother with drilled and grooved disks, basically just for looks. Wms 110% are probably the best bet for disks Edited November 2, 2015 by Ollieh17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
