questions on big brakes, anyone got them here???... Options

[SilverCell94]

i was just wondering about upgrading my braking system. i notice that there is take about using a 7th gen big brake kit. has anyone tried this, if so plesae post some pics.

what are my options?? i know i cant use the st205 brakes any help will be great!!!

[Coomer]

Why can't you use the ST205 brakes? I've seen them on ST185, ST165s, Camrys, and a few other Toyota vehicles without Super Strut suspension setups.

ive heard of the 7th gen bigbrake working, but ive never seen it done.

Willwood makes a 6gc big brake kit. A member has it, I dont remember his name. Ill poke around, and see if I can find him.

edit: No user name, but got a picture.



believe thats a 17" rim. tire reads 205/40/17 84r

WOW i really hope we can find out where those brakes are at (wilowood) those are REALLY sexy

those brakes belong to me. the setup is:

-6 piston calipers (wilwood dynalite)
-13 inch 2 piece directional rotors (drilled and slotted)
-stainless steel lines
-mounting brackets
-wilwood pads

wilwood does not make this kit, i had it custom made, its a complete bolt on with no mods other than removing the dust sheild.

gimme a pm if you'll like one made it'll cost approx $2400.00

[celica3sgte]

Wow dude $2400,,,is that for just the front??? I had mine custom made too. Wilwood 4 piston calipers, stainless steel lines, 13" rotors, slotted and cross drilled. I think I paid $1500 shipped. I have the rear on order but I'm selling my car, those were $1900.

[celica47]

OMG!! lol hey i know you have a swap in your car....do they help with braking? Or is it just for the look?

[celica3sgte]

I absolutely needed them. I few times I didn't stop and almost rear ended someone. It's night and day. I wouldn't mind donating my setup if I had some security that I would get my parts back.

That would be great man... i dont have ABS so if i hard brake my car SLIDES reallly bad. And thats why i've been kind of scared to do i swap because with that extra power i know it would be hell to stop! I thought you had AWD on your car, or i know that you had a thread looking for parts.

[BBoYRuGGeD]

wow steve thats some nice brakes! what do u mean by donating them and getting them back?

yah swapped celis need 'em...i had mine smoking (literally) hot one time. most of the time i just brake REALLY early...lol

bboy

Punch said he knows a guy that would make the setup for us if he had a donor set. The only thing he needs is one of my brackets and one of my rotors. The calipers are wilwood and I think universal for my size rotor. So he'd have to get the dimensions of my rotor and bracket. The company that made mine is shady as hell. They actually have $1000 of mine right now. No AWD here but I would want it if I kept my car. I have a ton of friends in Tampa so if punch's friend can get the specs over a weekend I'm sure we could work this at some point.

[celica47]

That would be great man.... if i went with wilowood it would be dumb to do the GT disc conversion, cause i could just buy ST front brakes and GT back. Will it be the entire assembly or just caliper and rotor?

[celica3sgte]

The entire assembly includes stainless steel brake line, rotor, cailper and pads, bracket and there is also a front plate that bolts onto the rotor that goes over the lugs. The kit would come with some bolts too.

My friend will make it happen ...

[celica47]

My friend will make it happen ...

Well iam extremely Interested because before i even think about a swap....i would feel A LOT MORE compfortable knowing i could stop a 3s BEAST, than sliding into somebody you know.

[Punch]

call or e-mail JOSE he will make $hit happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
