BIG(GER)TM BRAKE KIT - Toyota Yaris Forums

Vanderkitten · 08-03-2007, 02:57 PM

Now that most of you have 16's and 17's on your cars, you notice the stopping distance for your car might not be what you want, or simply the look of that CD-sized brake rotor is not something that goes with the other performance aspects of your car.

I am in the process of sourcing components for a BIG(GER) brake kit just for us!!

What is a BIG(GER)TM Brake kit? We are developing a kit that features larger, slotted rotors for the Yaris and engineering a relocation bracket for your stock caliper, with stainless lines, pads and fluid.

A "real" big brake kit with caliper, lines, pads and rotors runs about $1399-1799 from StopTec, Wilwood, etc. I feel that increasing the mechanical advantage of the stock braking system, eliminating fade potential and firming brake feel will provide 90% of the benefits of a big brake kit at a FRACTION of the price.

Who is interested in something like this (maybe it will include caliper paint, too

) and what would you likely pay or think it should sell for?

Thanks for your time!!
