Brake upgrade -completed- thanks Ivan

[mamatAE111]

Thanks to one of our lobang king,Ivan, for selling me this brake from his halfcut.
He could have used it himself, but yet he's willing to share his halfcut bounty with others

Also thanks for the Japan guy who mod this celica caliper on the AE knuckle, for his hard work,
I only have to pay $80 to my mech to install to my car.

Caliper =Celica 4 pot ( some people going to flame me, but I had to grind the edges of the caliper to fit 15" rim)
Disk = 300mm
Rim = 15 inch Buddy club P1 ( offset 27) clear caliper without use spacer
Brake pump= Levin double layer

Brake feel of the car now, 50% improvement over twin pot brakes, hehe...

Share some pics....

wonderful upgrade bro...very small clearance! best stay away from potholes! and what adjustables are you using? i'm considering to change my stock setup :)

 

[NA_Lover]

Wow.. seriously man... really teeny clearance from the photos.
I guess you're maximizing your rim size huh?
Nice job though. Cheers!

mamat, what size is your spare tyres ? hope it is 15" & clearing the caliper also..else

 

[mamatAE111]

Cpt. Fast,my adjustable brand is Silk Road, same as on sale by bro Jim in the classifieds section.

Bro wfhan, my spare 14" only. Had a puncture front tire on LPT(kuantan) highway once. I had to take the rear Rim, put in front, and use the 14" spare on the rear wheel. It's a lot of work if the front tire is punctured...
Still looking for TE 37 rim, with offset 28.....

if i no mistaken... If using the Celica (not sure which model), the caliper can be nicely fit our SE, SEG... with very mirror mod only. The bracket about the same only.... 1 of my friend also use it... but need to use 15" inch (min) rim for clearance....

 

[Captain Fast]

would be nice to use celica brakes but with all the holes in the road in malaysia, i really dun dare...would go for minimum 16 inch just to be safe :P but that's just me :)

mamat: how much stiffer is the adjustable as compared to stock? is it comfortable for daily usage?

 

[mamatAE111]

16" rim would mean I have to buy 16"tires. EXPENSIVE, since I use exclusively Advan Neova, hahaha.... eksyen....
15" advan neova in size 195/55/15 range $255->280 per piece only.

Adjustable have to test with your own butt. I test my butt feel ok, but my wife seems to disagree with my butt.. hehe..
Adjustable in NEVER as comfortable as standard.

Mamat, I totally have to agree with you on that. To everyone, when selecting suspensions and settings, be sure to take the BUTTOLOGY test into account. If it doesn't agree with your bottom, you'll probably have to gain or lose a little weight. Wahahaha!!!

[chinozie]

i'm also using caliper frm celica (3sgte), just p&p the caliper to the levin disc.
minimum is 15", and still got better/bigger gab compares to mamatae111's .. BUT..
