Brake Upgrades For Is200

[is153]

As above I know pads and discs for it is a good start and 6 pots are top of the range but are the any brake setups that are better than the is200 and will bolt straight to the car?

Ie say will 330mm discs and caiplers for a is350 fit on (DISC SIZE JUDT EXAMPLE)

THANKS

Thanks but ive tryed that before and all it does is make the discs more costly. Braking wise it pointless only its moslty for looks.

It's not mostly for looks, it's actually an improvement.

Supra caliper fit with a small tweak

You've only just bought your IS200 but you've already tried the Supra brake conversion?

On my other cars ive used 30mm bigger discs and all it did was make the discs more costly.

And if you look at the costs in the long run on those discs its cheaper to up grade to 4 pot calipers. (Uprated supra discs are £500 4 pot caliper upgrade is £600 using std disc size. Which it gives much better braking then.

No you use supra discs with the supra calipers

Well lets just say ive owned the car three weeks and its spent the whole time in a garage I only had it back yesterday. ( but did take a week the respray the wheels thay had 40 layers of different paint on them lol)

Oh, so you haven't used the Supra brake conversion before.

I've upgraded the brakes on nearly every car I've modified; from just fitting larger discs with standard callipers to larger discs with uprated callipers, and the difference has always been noticeable. Even with standard callipers on larger discs, the braking force has always been improved, as the total rotating circumference is greater, and even though the pads and callipers are the same, they are further out meaning on a rotation, they cover a larger area than on a standard, smaller disc. I can't do the math for you, but trust me, it's there ;)
