camerondownunder88 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 Hi, Was just wanting to find out some information about AE71 brakes. Are they the same as KE70 brakes eg diameter width calipers? As I know KE70 disc brakes and calipers will bolt onto a KE30 with no modifications and then I can use dunnydoor brake pads and have less brake fade and a bigger pad area to increase stopping power by a fraction. As I have a KE30 and want to put the wider disc on the car to decrease brake fade and I am able to get some AE71 brakes and caliper to suit cheap so can anyone tell me if they are a straight bolt on swap for the whole unit? eg there same as KE70 one so they will or did there bolt pattern on the caliper change mount spot etc?

Des Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 As far as i know the brakes are the same, Since I'm using corona brakes on my KE70 you can take the KE70 setup if the AE71 setup is different. Quote
Raven Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Same size disc. 200mm. For some beefy brakes, why not go RA60 celica front struts with KE70 tops? 258mm front disc vs 200mm AND they're vented. :jamie: Edited November 26, 2006 by Raven Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) I am wanting to do a AE71/KE70 brake upgrade on the KE30 just so I have less brake fade and so I can use dunnydoor pads and they have a larger surface area on there brakes so a small cheap upgrade as mm I don't think a stock 4K really needs celica vented discs..lol Maybe my 5K if I get one..lol Cameron Edited November 26, 2006 by camerondownunder88 Quote
Dan Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 As far as I know, you can still fit Commodore brake pads on the stock calipers, its in the FAQ, was reading it earlier... Quote
