I'm wanting to upgrade my brakes. I don't want anything that's overkill, since my car will never see a track. Any suggestions?

A set of calipers (f+r) alone usually goes for 550-650 iirc. Plus new pads and rotors, you're looking at close to $1000
http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-Toyota-Celica-...01c&vxp=mtr For the calipers alone... I don't know about you but I've found the stock braking system pretty good especially with small (15 and 16") wheels and good tires. I'd best spend $1000 in a set of performance brake pads and new rotors, braided lines, a fluid flush and some good, grippy tires. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

It's much cheaper and a lot less work, This post has been edited by 1994Celica: Mar 23, 2013 - 11:47 PM -------------------- JDM Part King
