Toyota Double Piston Brake??

[droppa]

recently i went to see a 101 and the car had on some sweet double piston calipers and nicely sized rotors, with a 20V.

what id like to know is what vehicle this came from, i have altezza calpiers and rotors at home, they are double pistons, but not the same as the ones on the 101.....

anyone know where i can get a set complete with spindles to buy and what price.....

[Zeriam]

Caldina gt might have to switch to 16 or bigger. i know of 1 ae80 that had it installed and the 15's didnt work.

[eliteauto]

you get double piston brakes on the AE101 Levin/Trueno GTZ model that is the ones that came with the 4AGZE supercharged engine, also on some of those with the superstrut suspension

[zryfle]

well I am upgrading to st 185 celica front dic breaks .I have drill the rota dic for four whole .But the caliper bolting on I tried it and it fit .It is d upgreade for d 5efte project .


Since it can hold back a s185 celica with an 3s gte it go stop the 5e fte real good .

i got Caldina gt double piston calipers and rotors on my AE80, small mods on the rota to fit and 15's did work. Z!

Guys, my brakes from the ST185 will be for sale soon....taking offers. I have mintex pads on all four like 5 months ago.

[heshere2001]

^^How are the Mintex pads? I'm considering trying them out. What are your impressions of them?

[Zeriam]

outrider,yeah sounds about the time i woke up to take a trek by D&D looking for shocks.u had a white dx wagon double barrel exhaust?

[gt4tified]

^^How are the Mintex pads? I'm considering trying them out. What are your impressions of them?

Quite good actually. A lot of dust during the break-in period, but most good pads are like that anyway. The break-in layer is severe on rotors though so make sure that they are over the specification for minimum thickness by at least 3mm. You should also have the rotors turned by a good machine shop prior to installing.

As for performance, they hold good when cold and even better when hot, but the aggresiveness bite almost never changes...very smoothe action, that is, it doesn't clamp over-aggressively when hot, but it provides the stopping power when needed.

Just this evening I had to hit a hard brake on the intersection by Grand Bazaar as the idiot in a civic in front of me started accelerating onto the vehicle in front of him as he was bending the corner. Obviously I started accelerating too, but the cars in front of both of us came to a dead stop. I actully chirped tyres in stopping but it did the job!!!

Asking $1000.00 (slightly neg. if yuh serious) for de front. 10.5" rotors with dual piston calipers and vgc Mintex pads on them. Will be available by next weekend.

[outrider]

^^^^2 questions bro...
1. are these d same size as d AE101 Levin/Trueno GTZ ? and.....
2. will it work up on meh dx wagon?

thanx fuh yuh patience brother....

[gt4tified]

outrider, jed...

1. I have no idea; and
2. I still have no idea, but they are 5x100 hubs so you might have to do a conversion or re-drill to suit.

But tell you what, I should have them off the car so if for the next TEC meeting you can make it, I'll bring them along and you can see for yourself.

[droppa]

shoot 5-hole jed, yuh swapping out the complete spindles, or jus disc and caliper?

[gt4tified]

Complete spindles. And both wheel bearings were changed within the last year with OEM NSK bearings (same as AE80 corolla).
