MKIII brake upgrade

08-31-2005, 05:50 PM

Does anyone know of a bolt on front brake upgrade for the MKIII?? I alreadt have upgraded rotors and pads but I want more stopping power. I know Stillen make a Brembo front big brake kit but the cost is way high. I am looking for something cheap. For example: Nissan 300zx front brakes bolt up to the stock 240sx hub.

Take a look on ebay. Someone there is regularly selling drilled rotors for the Supra. I don't know if they are any better, but they might be.

Yeah, the problem with this is that the Supra was the Top of the Line for Toyota. Most people upgrade brakes in other cars to Supra brakes. Pretty much your only option is to go with a big brake kit...our rotors are right at around 12" front and rear...I upgraded to Braided lines, slotted and x-drilled rotors...probably a good set of pads too would be all you could do outside of paying out the Azs for a big brake kit.

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...
