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

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

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.

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.

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.

#13

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?

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.

general questions about brakes.. I got some new wheels for my car.. from the stock 14s to 15s [205/50s] the braking didnt really change. Only had the the brakes lock once during hard breaking.

Now I changed my set again.. from the 15s [205/50s] to 16x7 [225/45s] When braking.. The car feels like it will just slide out. I havent tested a hard brake yet [just got them on sat night.] The tires on them are ES100s which are real sticky. Can anyone explain this? Or is it just me.

tires dont have that much to do with braking...you have your brake pads, rotors, brake lines, calipers which all work to make your car brake..upgrading those will help you brake better not upgrading tires.

You'd be surprised. Brakes are only effective to the maximum grip of the tire. You could have a KILLER set of brakes on a car with a crappy set of tires and stop worse than a stock equipped car.

I've seen a bit of talk about the 7th Gen brakes being a direct fit to the 6th gen, so it would reason that a 7th gen brake kit would be a (whatever is involved depending on the kit) simple installation also. Unconfirmed, but I'm going to be hitting some junkyards for one of our cars and will try to find a front brake setup from a 7th gen also.

dunno bout the rear but it might be alil cheaper since it should be slightly smaller... or maybe more expensive since they need to make the ebrake drums too...
