THAT LOOKS AWESOME.

as long as the Brembo's are made for the correct width rotor (~22mm for Yaris, I think), you are ok. If not, you're setting up a dangerous combination.

it's not the real brembo caliper , Garm ....its the brembo caliper cover from thailand , but the material is fiberglass instead of a thin plastic that easily melts..

Yes the 4-pot caliper I got is the correct size for the 22mm rotor we use on regular AND large size rotors.

however, I still have to work out the bracket for it. I'll post some pics up on a new thread tomorrow. I was so excited I forgot to take pictures, LOL.

I also got some nice new 6-pot calipers for my tC

Your car must stop on a dime now. Did it come with ABS?

I got everything from Garm, it's a great product and a stellar seller .

still using the stock pads, since I'll be getting the wilwood caliper later on...


and I believe you can use 15" wheels, but im not sure.


seems like project yaris is not gonna be over just yet

Nope, the rear disc conversion utilizes bigger rotors, right? If I remember correctly then, they must be used with 16 or 17's (most likely 17's).

looking good, makes those wheels look less empty

Now just get some red paint for the front calipers!
