Brake Upgrades for Yaris Hatch! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've never heard of the company but these items look quality. Can't go wrong with CNC 4 pots. Front and rear might be a little overkill on a 2400lb car, IMO.

Maybe! LOL. I am doing some research on that still! In the UK they have some serious stuff for the TS. But I have sent an Email to Toyota of UK to see what they say and what they would recommend!

A few good ways to improve breaking..

- SS lines
- Good pads
- Quality tires
- Lighter wheels
- Upgrade suspension

People add huge wheels and don't take the unsprung weight into effect when they can't figure out why their cars don't stop so well. Hence the reason I'm a firm believer in smaller, lighter wheels. Good sticky tires will do wonders cutting those stopping distances down. Upgrading suspension also helps. Stiffer springs help with weight transfer and dive.

I will personally fly over and deliver a swift kick to the backside of whoever puts these on their car. Be warned!

I understand. The Yaris TS already comes with most of those upgrades, is the Sportiest line of the Yaris line. Different wheels, suspension, brakes, all ABS, TC, EBD, ETC..... But you have good points!
