its like sex man you have to pay for help on here haha
no man were all here to help the prob being i would say no one knows much and cant offer you good advice on the subject. maybe send motor a pm and ask him what questions you have im sure he will be only too happy to help. dont forget to give him some rep tho for that awesome thread aswell
Only problem I have had since fitting WITH the extended studs is the wheel rubbing the arch. Won't be a problem if the shocks are super stiff or the car isn't slammed.
Once you use extended studs and torque the nuts there will be no problem with loosening wheel nuts; without extended studs... Let's just say, learn from my mistake :teach:

I never had a problem with mine. Its an EXCELLENT upgrade. You just can't compare it to the standard setup which is shit to be honest. Can't tell you how many close calls I had and thought "How in the name of God did I just get away with that" because of those brakes but I would recommend braided lines, quality pads and a complete brake fluid change when you do it to get the full benefits from it
i knew tere are man i was in vicks car with him and the difference with the brakes is unreal,ive had a few close calls meself im going to go ahead and do the brakes this week
I looked at that thread and had a thought...why not put the calliper on the inside of the hub instead of the outside like stock? you could shave a mm on the hub and maybe the caliper and get the 8mm difference there and thatwat you wouldnt have to space out the wheels...
hmm the question i quess is do the discs rub if bolted right on?

I had that same thought myself mate; it won't work unless you want to do ALOT of custom fabrication. The ideal position for the levin calipers is flush with the mounting bracket; in other words, the hub will sit under the bracket for the caliper, then you need to make up a bracket to put behind the hub and caliper to keep the caliper in place and shave a few mil off the hub and caliper bracket to stop the caliper rubbing the inside of your wheels (unless you have 17s).
I planned out every conceivable option before doing the swap; sure with enough time, effort and skill it could be done better though... I just lacked the metal fabrication skill to attempt any other option and trust it
Oh and it won't go on the inside as the bolts will only attach one way; the disks wont fit and you won't be able to tighten the mounting bolts unless you use the stock position or custom make brackets to suit
I have a set of ae111 jdm 2pots sat in my room, but still unsure what discs to use for them? Iv heard you use a bigger disc of the d4d and have it milled down? Can some one comfirm exactly what disc i need and may even a link to a place to get them, rep will be given
2001- Corolla D4D, the smaller diameter disks, larger are 295mm if memory serves, but can't remember the size of the smaller one. Only two sizes anyway so can't go far wrong
Straight fit mate; only need the spacer behind to center them in the caliperBump as to wether the smaller d4d disc needs to be milled or just bolted straight on
It's all in the tutorial
