Parts Used

Nissan R33 GTS25t Alloy four spot Calipers

DBA 4000 Series Slotted BA Falcon Rotors (DBA4504)

Custom Machined locating ring (60mm to 71mm, Tapered)

 

That's it, its a STRAIGHT BOLT UP JOB..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm... Now I wonder if Cressida struts bolt into old Corollas? :)

More info:

 

Calipers - $220 a pair

Rotors - $280 a Pair

Locating rings - $88 a pair

Pads - (varies on brand/compound - $50 to $300)

 

It's such a shame that Toyota don't make cheap effective alloy calipers, like Datto do... Oh well, grind the "Nissan" off and you're all good :D

 

My Landcruiser calipers weigh a ton. I recon if I swapped to Datto calipers my car would handle a lot better :)

cressida struts into a corolla is easy, 14mm balljoint thread. there are two types of cressida strut, 90mm base pattern and 112mm base pattern. make sure you use cressida power steer arms, they're about the same length as ke70 arms, and 5mm shorter than ke30/55 arms

That is so cool. Why didn't I know any of this when I was building my car? There seems to be so many better upgrades than the one I did :)

This also so belongs in Wiki. Wiki front brake section needs to be split into more sections... It's already rather unreadable. Also, how do you put external photos in? I've just linked them as links, but that's really gay.

But that would mean I would actually need to download the photos first. Can't I just link to them? I suppose hot linking is bad...

... and then when you try to upload stuff it asks about copyright stuff, and then it gets even harder! :P
