MKIII brake upgrade

Poodles · 09-02-2005, 05:54 AM

Wilwood makes a bolt on brake kit...but it's expensive. There is a kit sold in japan to upgrade to larger brakes from other parts. The kit uses MKIV rotors, Lexus front calipers, and Skyline rears. Still pretty expensive. Don't use cross drilled rotors, they crack at the holes, and can have catastrophic failure, plus, the design is dated, modern brake compounds don't produce the gases that the cross drilling was meant to vent. Instead, get slotted rotors that remove the glazing on the pads from extreme use, and get high quality brake pads. Also, doing a full brake job wouldn't be a bad idea either...
