Sneak peak.. this is the new rotor.. that is a 16" 7th gen rim.
Stock Rotor w/ rim installedStock GT Rotor no rimNew rotor no rimProbably be 2 versions of the brake kit. One would be a 318mm rotor designed for use on 16" or larger rims. The other would be a 323mm rotor which will only fit 17" or larger rims. Both using the same 4 pot caliper. Personally I'll be using 318mm rotor.. The price difference between the two will be pretty small.. The 318mm kit will actually be the more expensive one.. between 30-40 dollars more.
Btw, these are camera phone pictures... I never thought I'd see the day when cam phone pics looked this good...

your going to need some big rims to clear the rotors/calipers

Hence the reason for 2 kits.. the 318mm kit will clear a 16" rim. I don't want people to have to upgrade to a 17 or larger if they already have 16's...

So how much is this kit and what does it come with?
nice, im interested... could these come slotted?
Yes, they could come slotted. Not certain about price yet, I want to keep it around a grand though...
Just from my testing so far... most people unless you have an offset of probably around +30 to +25... are going to need to use a rim spacer to fit these calipers. With my 7th gen rims, I can fit the smaller brake kit if I use a 15mm spacer..
I'll be making and selling spacers to go along with the kits.. using ARP wheel studs.. The spacers will be hubcentric.

Are those ST205 brake rotors?

Not to destory your sales, but no one one this forum actually needs a big brake kit. It's mostly a fashion statement unless you're roas coursing all the time. A lot of these guy could get by great with a SS lines, a Hawk/EBC pad, fresh rotors and some nice fuild. That would be perfect for the daily driver and weekend autocrosser.
It worked out great on my old 6gc, paired with the Eagle F1 gsd3's. For only about $300 or less, I saved my car from many a deer

i can think of a few guys on here that do need big brakes.
15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
^i doubt SERIOUSLY doubt that anyone on this forum will make good use of a Big brake kit...except for show reasons....
a "BBK" will NOT help braking on the street or on a drag strip. (having a 3s doesn't constitute the need either)

then porsches don't need them either.
why question who needs it or not. nobody needs a 3s, nobody needs half the crap they put on their car. all that was requested was an update.
hey i want them cause they look pretty
and just for clarification...my friends GT3 porsche does need them
but my point wasn't directed towards you. it was Lagos' post
mine was merely to make sure people understand what a BBK really does/is for
by stating its
not for any street gains

BOOST GETS YOU LAID!!!!
After this weekends experience in New york, in both of my friends wrx's. one with a big brake kit and one without. the difference was obnoxiously noticeable while one would slide past the point where the other stopped and the brakes would smell horrible, the other could stop on a dime and the pedal was so firm.
both cars have 250 awhp and going from 120mph to 40mph at Limerock Raceway where they are both licensed drivers the larger brakes made a big difference. The way I plan to/do drive the celica, big brakes would definitely benefit anyone wanting better stopping power.
Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
big brakes don't get warm enough nor perform better than OEM sized brakes on the street. its a fact
THOUGH if they take them out to LIMEROCK thats a much different story. Where BBK would get proper use and function like it should.

Its not only that the rotor is bigger. The whole brake pad surface is bigger = more stopping power. That has nothing to do with heating up or not. Thats only the case when upgrading to better gripping brake pads that are semi/track use.
