I want to know just how good stock GT brakes are. are they actually decent? do they need alot of work? will a simple fluid, line, rotor upgrade and pad upgrade make them respectable?

IMO, ABS SUXXXORS!!

my first 3 6gcs were non abs, and they performed way better than the weak ABS system on my new one//

If your a good enough driver, you will know the limit of your brakes and will hold it at that limit....as soon as abs feels its CLOSE to the limit it softens up..... appearantly GT4 brakes are easier than we thought, you might want to look into them swappers......

I love my none ABS Celica. My MK3 didn't have ABS and neither does the Celica, the car just feels better without it in my opinion.


I totally agree, I haven't driven a car with abs but I drove my dads renault clio and really tested the brakes and my dad goes on how well it stops but I thought it took forever, and yes without abs you learn the point where you can brake at your limit without it locking and if it does lock just take it off tongue.gif just as long as you brake before the corner and have good tyres no abs is good.
