upgrading starlets brakes topic, opinions expertise be helpful.

What about Alfa Romeo Mito discs brake??
They are 4 hole , 281 diameter , 44 height and thickness is 26/24..
I think that will fit perfect at st185 calibers.
I dont know much about that topik but i am starting to learn!

they could do matey.
these are st165 calipers btw mate, just to clarify.

Will they fit in 15" wheel?

Looking good dude! I will be doing my ae111 twin pod conversion next weekend! let you know how i get on!
Just for some info what is the diameter of the discs for the wilwoods!

 

[jayc-glanza17]

baretta 280mm is wilwood disc i believe bro. maybe wrong, but thinks thats it.
and at wastegate, i have 15's so theres ya answer dude.
and i have auto x's which are notorious hard for bigger brakes.

So with st165 2pot calibers and mito's discs we have plug n play solution??

 

[jayc-glanza17]

celica discs are 25mm thick 255mm in diameter matey.

 

[wastegate]

celica st165 discs are 24/22 , st185 25/24 and mito's are 26/24.

Sounds interesting, just need to find the Callipers for that -) anything up to 285mm would fit easy on 15" wheels!
If going for an upgrade then at least 280+ mm!

i found celica st165 set up a lot better then stock bud, yes bigger disc is always gd, but the st165 is a sound upgrade for such little hassle,
and a lot less fade for sure.

what id like to know is which is better,the st165 twin,or the st185 big single?

 

[jayc-glanza17]

anwsered a little in bi rake set up thread.

i answer a little more sepcifically here.

twins and roughly 3% less in braking tourque(force) then the single, mostly due to singlw having larger disc and pad.....

the single however has a wider variety of aftermarket pads, yet mintex do 1144's for both.

in terms of fade, both are very similar in fact no difference not noticeable on road.
