Has anyone upgraded their brakes or spindles to a Lexus or larger Toyota to get bigger rotors and calipers? Not buying Wilwood or Stoptech stuff without researching this.
I upgraded my S3 RX7 to S5 turbo11 brakes for $60 (that's 11 in rotors vs 14 in and 1 piston vs 4 piston)

Oh and does anyone sell a S/S braided line kit?

so no one is following this. lets start with bolt pattern for the rotors. well that rules out all toyota/lexus so it leaves audi tt or corolla hmm lets forget corolla. hmm! tt uses a 5x100 lug. good! next audi uses a 340 mm rotor vs a 275 mm rotor hmm more good. wait! audi uses a 4 piston caliper wayyyy more good. soo lets goto pick and pull and find an audi tt. well my pick and pull has 3. including one turbo. wanted to go today but kindabusy. stand by

 

oh i bought ss braided lines from morakot for $32 on ebay they came today they look great!

 

Are you planning to race? If not, big brakes might be overkill for the street.

Akebono ceramic pads are better than stock Toyota ceramic pads. Semi-metallic pads will stop faster but they'll wear your discs quicker.

Good luck with the upgrade.
