brake upgrades

Mista 2 · 03-15-2007, 08:12 AM

just wanted to know what is out there. i have an 85 AW11 with 88 rear brakes but i cant get all the parts for the fronts (most people crash the front and sell the car). i know of celica GT4's but i was told you need 17's to do that and that is too big for me. i have heard of skyline type M's fitting on but i have no info. this is something i need to do soon as by fronts are starting to fade when i go on hills runs ( i live in the hills). any help would be gr8
thanx

so, are you asking about where to get some newer brakes? i may have a set i can sell off of an 87+ (don't remember if it was 87 or 88).

i am just asking if anyone knows what will fit without doing major work. i would be more than happy to buy your set but the only thing is shipping, i live in australia and all i really need is the claiper mounting plate and the dust cover/shroud (or whatever it is called) that is on the inside of the rotor. new pads and rotors are going on no matter what setup i do. if you do want to ship them then just post a price.

thanx

i see. i do have the caliper mounts, but i don't have the dust shields anymore. you're probably better-off sourcing the parts there since shipping is ridiculous to there! i think it was something like $40 USD plus when i had to ship an A-pillar trim down under! you're in adelaide...my online buddy john (feral mr2) is there! anyway, let me know if i may be of any help.
