13"...the thing that I guess I thought would have been bigger, or at least bigger than it is was the rotor pad contact area....it looks a lot thinner than the stock setup. I am sure it has to do with the type, and amount of pistons the caliper has

 

Wow so my stoptech kit won't be looking too big haha. I do feel that I have a lot more pad/rotor surface area than you too.

it might be hard to tell by this picture and since ours aren't side by side or anything. Either way, your setup is sick! I bet stopping with those is like hitting a wall lol.

 

Text me next time B, I wouldn't mind swinging by to check it out and lend a hand. Besides, I could use a brake fluid change.

 

Will do...we did several things yesterday...Rions coilover install, then he bought my drilled and slotted rotors that I had on my car, so we installed those, the BBK install, bled Slikks brakes, and also repaired a pin hole leak that we found in my radiator, where that lower intercooler pipe had been rubbing against it

 

all of which was FREAKING AWESOME! THanks again B! the coils and rotors change the tc completely. Its now a beast lol

 

Well after talking to the Wilwood engineers today it turns out that non of the Wilwood 6-piston calipers will work on the tC....so will be sending the calipers back and getting the 4-piston.....this would have been good information to have...oh...I dont know....LAST WEEK....

 

omfg why cant i be in TN no scion ppl here in charlotte all the ones here drive xB and do carshows

 

My mom might be moving there. General Director position offered at a Hospital. So, when I go to visit...

Comparison shot






The other great feature about this setup...to change pads you dont have to remove the calipers.

Just remove the retaining bolt




Slide the pads in


and reinstall bolt


and plenty of room for your allen wrenches to turn!


Stock wheels with spacers...plenty of room




and stock wheels with out spacers...well not a lot of room but they fit fine no rubbing at all
