Really good brake kit this and can see them being a good seller. Have them on my gt and can't recall them ever locking up on hard braking, very good stopping power.

Excellent!

Just two little questions chris, can the oem break lines be used? ie can i keep my starlet braided lines on these calipers?

Also do they fit on 15s?

Thanks & best of luck! Cant wait to hear a price on these :D

i assume these are the st165 calipers? which pads do you use as i get fade with the stock pads on the road, i would be scared to use them on the track tbh.

I use stock pads and discs and dont get any fade with them, but at the minute my pads are worn a good bit and the performance is just not as good.

I do lots of 100mph plus to 20mph hard braking at the drags and it its good to know you are going to get stopped for sure lol.

I always thought Spuddys car was so fast as it went past me after the line like a rocket, I thought he must have been carrying some speed over the line there, turns out he could not get the thing stopped quickly on the standard set up!
 
Did a date come out for this kit and is it only a 1z of are will yea sways be selling them??? Just want to no as I have to start saving for them

Great work lads, simple solution to a cheap big brake kit, certainly is going to be a winner in the community ;)

i can brake from those speeds like you mate, but if you drive really hard and brake alot on twisty roads it fades. i had fade come on quite bad and quite suddenly, was pretty scary tbh!

Never even felt fade on our Corolla at the trackdays with fresh pads, 2 x 100+
mph straights into 40mph corners and 2 other heavy braking zones in between. The biggest problem we have with them is keeping the car straight as the rear wheels are so light when your foots right in with them lol.

I would have a look at them if you are getting fade, unless its water in the fluid or a rubber pipe expanding I cant see it being the set up as we do 15 minute sessions with maybe 10 minutes between sessions for 2 hours at a time and they do not degrade at all.

You wont replicate that on the roads.
