Brake Shopping

[drell42]

well I have started to think about brake options for the car. althought it is not time for brakes yet i would like to have an idea of what I want before that time comes. what i would like to do, are replace the pads and shoes with a proformance compound and replace the rubber lines with stainless braided ones. What I cant find is a company that makes the gear for this car, i know that i can probably get away with a universal fit for the lines but the pads and shoes are a diffrent story. what would you guys suggest?!

do the wilwood big brake kits for the scion's fit the YARIS?

different brackets for the Echo..though it WILL work you will have nasty chatter...

I suggest the Vitz RS rear disc brake conversion as well as Stainless Steel brake lines, aftermarket brake fluid, and EBC brake pads...very cheap if you look around.
or you cold spend 15 times more for the wilwood, which IS THE WORST road racing brakes out there (aftermarket wise). Wilwood was invented for domestics, and share the domestics lack of braking ability.

I hear the Willwoods (some of the older ones) would flex under pressure. Changing the pads to a better pad would help and use better brake lines. The Wilwood brakes are lighter and therefore don't have the rigidity that a Brembo or Endless or Greddy system would have. Although having said that. The new Tein Yaris has Wilwoods and I hear they brake very well.
