These are the next thing- okay, first thing- I'll be buying for my Yaris. There is a slight difference in braking power, but the big benefit is a reduction in brake fade- i.e., you go driving in the mountains for a few hours and your brakes get "mushy." These are the best brake system upgrade you can buy, IMO.

Just in case you wanted to know, there are quite a few big brake kits out there now. JBT, Greddy, Wilwood, Project u, are a few that are out there already.
I know JBT has a 6 pot mini caliper with 11 in rotor and they also have a 4 pot with 13 inch rotor.

yup, but some good brake (and clutch) lines should really enhance the feeling and response of those pedals....

OOOH, Black Yaris loses the stainless brake line race. That's what you get for taking your sweet time. Better get crackin on the rear disc conversion before someone beats you to market with that too.

I think with the 11" rotors you can still use the 15's which is a great thing for performance on the autorcross.

It's probably better to just upgrade the rotors to slotted or something and change your pads and lines.

wasn't a race, but I just have not had time to take a set of lines to the Parker store to fab the SS lines.... They will be just as good and cost a whole lot less

Has anyone bought the SS lines yet? any reviews?

Also... I don't know if this has been posted before, but what do you guys think about those drilled rotors on ebay...? $80 per set.
