Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

[Joe__G]

Calipers came as pictured. All I did was apply the red vinyl stickers.

I tried stealing part numbers from your pictures but couldn't see all of them. Would you mind posting part numbers (if you have them) for what you have pictured?

If those part numbers have already been posted somewhere here, I apologize. I've been trying to keep up with this thread though and don't think I've seen them anywhere. Thanks!

Sheesh! I gotta do everything around here. :icon_roll

I finally finished up the brakes. I wasn't going into the New Year with the brakes still apart. They look sweet! Once I can get someone to help me bleed them, then I can actually drive and see how different it feels.













I sanded, rebuilt and painted the rears until I find a deal on the Evo calipers. Considering they were rusted and ceased when I started this, I'm very happy with the end result.

Nice.
Looking forward to getting a set of these.

 

[slowma70]

has anyone had issues with the heat and plastic hub rings?
im running hubcentric spacers and believe the hub rings will interfere with them or do they sit flush with the rotor?

 

[MarkIII4Me]

^
Look at the pics I posted above. The aluminum hub rings I used do not sit flush with the rotor.

 

[ibcrazee]

you'll have to trim them so they do sit flush. done.

did you have to cut the dust shield?

did you have to cut the dust shield?

It tells you in the first post to either cut or bend the dust shield out of the way

I know, but his came out really well so I was trying to see just how much he had cut, if any.

also, has anybody tried these under a set of starion wheels yet?

 

[MarkIII4Me]

Confirmed TT wheel fitment without the use of spacers.

Took the Supra for a test drive after having a buddy help me bleed the brakes twice. Even after, the pedal went right to the floor once the engine turned on. I drove for a few miles. Was really hard to assess due to having such a soft pedal. The brakes appear to be working fine and not making any noise. Going to use a pressure bleeder tomorrow to get all of the air out of the system. Made this adapter for the master cylinder. Should work great. Just clamp it down and hook it up.

 

[Piratetip]

Do you have ABS?
One of my side projects is to make a handheld box to actuate the ABS system during brake bleeding.
Similar to the old factory SST worked.
The only other way to actuate the solenoids and pumps in the ABS unit would be to perform a hard stop somewhere on a loose surface.

You may have air trapped in the ABS system.

Have you had a chance to drive anywhere on the new brake setup?
I am guessing no since you are still bleeding out the air.

 

[MarkIII4Me]

I've got a ground short from the ABS computer terminal T to the pump that I need to get sorted out, so the abs is not working. I drove the car for maybe 2 miles, but the pedal was dangerously soft and sometime had no pressure at all. I didn't go over 30mph. They made no noise, but couldn't really give them a fair assessment and sure as hell couldn't bed them in properly. I will tomorrow tho as long as the rain stays away.

What setup are you in rear I had same problem cause the Evo calipers had two breeders on each calipers I didn't know this lol. Once I found out I bleed both and I've had no issues with a soft pedal

 

[MarkIII4Me]

Check out post #344. Still running stock rears.

 

[hvyman]

pressure bleeding works the best. usually no more than about 10spi tho.

try and tilt the calipers with them unbolted so the bleeder is facing up. biggest problem with the calipers is they dont have dual bleeders like everything else so air can get trapped on the other side.

 

[MarkIII4Me]

Definite improvement after pressure bleeding the system, but my pedal is still very spongy. Like I only have brakes on the last 3" of travel. Must still have air trapped in there somehow. My guess is in the abs pump. Gotta get my abs wiring issue sorted out and then try pressure bleeding one last time.

 

[hvyman]

possible to be stuck in the abs but it remains in the open position. you can crack each line loose with the bleeder on it and see if any air bubbles come out.

but i would still suggest removing the caliper and block the pistons and allow the caliper to try and free up any air. Also try and bleed the rears again also.
