Sneak peak.. this is the new rotor.. that is a 16" 7th gen rim.
Stock Rotor w/ rim installed Stock GT Rotor no rim New rotor no rim Probably be 2 versions of the brake kit. One would be a 318mm rotor designed for use on 16" or larger rims. The other would be a 323mm rotor which will only fit 17" or larger rims. Both using the same 4 pot caliper. Personally I'll be using 318mm rotor.. The price difference between the two will be pretty small.. The 318mm kit will actually be the more expensive one.. between 30-40 dollars more. Btw, these are camera phone pictures... I never thought I'd see the day when cam phone pics looked this good... -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

After this weekends experience in New york, in both of my friends wrx's. one with a big brake kit and one without. the difference was obnoxiously noticeable while one would slide past the point where the other stopped and the brakes would smell horrible, the other could stop on a dime and the pedal was so firm.
both cars have 250 awhp and going from 120mph to 40mph at Limerock Raceway where they are both licensed drivers the larger brakes made a big difference. The way I plan to/do drive the celica, big brakes would definitely benefit anyone wanting better stopping power. -------------------- |
