With the light weight of the YARIS a big set of rotors and 6 piston calipers on the front would probably throw you through the windshield!

For under $300 you can get cross drilled and/or slotted rotors from Dezod, good pads from Dezod, and some caliper paint from Autozone. Its no Brembo kit, but it'll do the trick.

Thanks for the info! Im ot necessarily looking for bigger brakes, just for something better. The thing is the Yaris TS is heavier than the Yaris you guys get in the US. Your model is a 3 door hatch only no? which weights at about 1,010 Kg (2226 pounds), while the Yaris TS (5 Door Hatch) weights at around 1,125 kg. (2480 pounds). I just wanted to know if there was any kit available for the Yaris out there. It comes with 4 disk brakes already, just wanted a better system! Im planning to do some work on it and well, more power, better brakes! :)

I would try different pad material and stainless break lines before buying rotors. The stainless lines add a much firmer feel to the pedal.

I am going to have to agree with you on this one. I was reading PAS mag and they did a hole break jo on the car. At the end they remembered the EBD and said the best bang-for-the-buck and proformance wise, was to just upgrade pads, shoes, and go to s/s lines

ChinoCharles · 05-06-2007, 03:45 PM

Stainless brake lines just came out too. Search for the thread, I'm lazy.

ItalianYaris · 05-06-2007, 04:19 PM

Cool, well let me double check on this! thanks for the info!

I have been using SS brake lines on motorcycles for years and they make a HUGE difference.

There are a lot of people that make them. I like Russell brand myself.

They do not list the YARIS, but I know they can make them.

SS brake lines, new pads and better fluid will do the trick. Drilled/slotted rotors won't give you any performance increases.

The larger rotors do help, but why bother? The car is so dam light that everything but rotors should make a BIG difference, agree?

ss brake lines are, stainless steel braided brake lines. They are still flexable like rubber but under heavy and hot breaking conditions they will not expand like rubber. This gets rid of the "mushy" gummy no brake feel!
