If you could find the correct length and fitting size I am positive that these folks can make them. They made a few custom sets for me over the years. http://russellperformance.com/new/ |

Those are stainless steel braided brake lines. The stock ones are rubber and the line inside stretches when you apply the brakes. The SS lines do not allow the inner brake line to bulge or flex and you get firmer, more predictable pedal feel. Goodridge is the only company to date that has the lines. They are $130 for the set. |

I think the slotted rotors will help if you are driving in areas with alot of water, like where I am. Drilled I think are a bit of a waste on the Yaris and they tend to warp if you plan to work the brakes really hard. Of course it's different if you racing the car....on a track....
One thing I can say after running the car with stock brakes at an autorcross and jamming on the brakes hard after trying to make a run for it at the timer, you tend to notice the brakes get a bit spongy, so changing to steel lines is better. The pads seemed to be ok, but on a race track you'll want to change them for a better pad compound. With the big brake kit it can help, but if your just using your car on the street you won't need anything more than steel lines and pads. I think with the paint you'll get an extra 5 feet in stopping distance, especially if its red.

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! |

Insert sarcasm here.

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. |
