Ae82 Brake Upgrade

November 27, 2006

at the mo i have the larger gti disks and calipers fitted but my disks are nackered so was thinking of getting some better ones with grooves or drilled holes in, which is better drilled of groved? or i'm looking at these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-Pot-Caliper-Toyota...1QQcmdZViewItem anyone heard of them? they look nice and it would be good to have some 4 pots with 277mm x 25mm discs, and at that price it seems to good to be true to me? only problem i can see is i will need to loose my standard wheels as it says 14" wheels wont fit over the disks, shame as i like the stock look but i could do with bigger brakes for when i get round to fitting my nitours kit which i got coming for christmas :thumbsup:

what do you guys think? will the gti brakes i got with good disks stop a 200bhp gt or should i deffo get 4 pot? i will have to get some pics up soon, as ive been busy with it
