Which brakes for road use
I saw the post about brakes, but it is too focused on conversions...
So I opened the thread to help me choose the right brakes for road use, expeccialy for normal driving, but sometimes pushing the car, let's say once a week on our local uphill Akina for a few kilometers - just for fun, not serious street racing For now I don't intend to use the car at the track. So I'm wondering if front and rear brake discs should be the same brand and which pads to use. Original discs are too expensive for me (about 80 eur for 1 disc ! - so 320 eur for all four discs) First possibility is to buy at local shop, which buys the parts from a distributor of automotive parts in Austria: Front disc: Brembo (about 40 eur for 1 disc) Rear disc: Unknown producer (about 26 eur for 1 disc) Front pads: Lucas (about 40 eur) Rear pads: Lucas (about 40 eur) Second possibility: The other possibility is to buy the blank discs and pads from MaxMisawa, but the shipping might be expensive. And on club4ag he says he has made the pads compound to suite his type of driving (drifting). The guy at Toyota said, that I should use at least the original pads with aftermarket discs, because the aftermarket pads are harder and they can destroy the discs quicker than the original ones... Do you have any other opinion (japanparts, etc.) ? Regards Andrej |
