2/4 pot calipers?

[dac69er]

36 10 grooved discs, pagid pads, braided brakeslines and dot 5.1 fluid. nothing special but for road use i have found them to be plenty good enough. if you had a different turbo or you wanted to use the car alot for the track then im sure they would not be that good, but otherwise im happy!

im gonig GT4 brakes soon but think ill be drilling disks know plenty of people who have done it no problems so cant see why not

I would be really appreciate if someone can point out which caliper will suit to starlet without bracket? I know that the AE101 Levin with superstrut suspension will fit straight on, what other else? From a Celica, which model?

@monkfish yes I'm well aware there are several options available, hence the reason for this thread...if you could elaborate on some of these options, I'd be thankfu

I was going to keep it quiet as I have plans, but bollocks to it, I may as well share the knowledge.

I'm staying Jap, but I'm going to be running stock Nissan 200sx s14a disks and calipers. 2 pots and 270-280mm disks for £150-200? Thank you very much. Get some brackets made up and I'd have a big brake setup that cost less than £300 to build and would probably do just as well as some of the expensive kits out there.

The other good thing is, the Brembo 4 pots off the R34 fit the same brackets, I'm just not sure if they tuck under 16's. Should do, but they're expensive to get hold of as it's a common s14a upgrade (Which is why there are always disks and calipers knocking around). The only other problem is the calipers say "Nissan", but that's nothing an angle grinder won't fix :homer:

There are plenty more options to go for, but that one is readily available (I'm good friends with one of the South Wales rep's for SXOC, so I can get hand-me-down bits). What you want to look for is a large performance car that runs 16" wheels and large brakes stock. Guaranteed they'll be upgraded with something else, so there should be plenty available. Would be able to get replacements from motor factors too

i hope you mean r34 gtt calpiers and not gtr calipers as the grt calipers are too powerful and you won't be able to control the breaking as the wheels will lock to easily. Hence why the zep kits use gts calipers. Tbh i don't see a car the size of a starlet needing larger discs just more pots.

@ted: can you give me some more details of the setup?

@dac69er: what brakes are you running?

go back on the old site and look up celica brakes sorted with pics

to take your car on the track you need thicker discs , not necessarily larger.

thats basicaly what i am saying. Larger disc give a greater breaking force with no increase in progression. You only need larger discs if you add on a load of weight. Thicker discs are more to do with heat i think to reduce break fade which would be very useful for track days.
