New Front Brakes Required..any Ideas?


Recommended Posts

As above,had a bit of an inspection on my car tody,drivers front brake caliper is sticking on,pads and disc that side are worn down.Anyway I need a good uprated set of discs and pads.Any ideas of what people use.

I know the Brembos seem good,what about pasds though,I am open to ideas but not EBC greenstuff pads.

Finally would you go for grooved or drilled discs or both together.I have my concerns about drilled discs as when they get older the holed tend to crack.Any thoughts on this would be great.

Thanks.Lee.

Fleabay sellers have genuine brembos and pads for sale mate.

Who said the holes crack lol I wouldn't have thought so .

I Will check e bay.Any other ideas apart from the Brembos?

I have seen the drilled holes crack when water gets into them and heat build up etc,seen this on EBC discs in the past.

Thanks..Lee.

Supra TT brakes a lot upgrade the IS brakes to if boosted as you are :)

Just the discs and pads or the complete kit with calipers?Are the supra discs larger then,I'm assuming so?

Thanks.Lee.

Yeah the whole lot mate, callipers everything. Yeah the IS200/300, GS300 and n/a supra all have the same brakes but the supra twin turbo has larger everything and I think, but not sure, drilled and grooved discs.

I don't really know anything about the upgrade other than I've read that's a popular upgrade

Thanks for the replies but I think I'm gonna stick with the standard calipers for now.Can anyone recommend any uprated drilled/grooved discs and a good set of pads then please?

Thanks.Lee.
