I just bought a front BBK for my tC and will be installing it on Thursday...just waiting for some 5mm H&R spacers to come in. I will post install pics as well as well as my opinions on how the car feels after install. Heres some pics of the kit as delivered in the boxes and separately:

Packaging:



328x28mm Slotted AeroRotors:





4 Piston Black Calipers:





Brackets:



And the whole kit next to my Scion key to give an idea of scale:



The kit also include front stainless steel lines, Axxis Ultimate brake pads, instructions and stickers. I also bought some rear lines and 3 bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid to replace all of the fluid in the car.

We will be going out to Streets of Willow this Friday so I will be able to get a good idea of how the kit works on the track. I will be running Ferodo DS 2500 pads for the track and the Axxis Utimates on the street. I will take video at the track and will hopefully get some in car stuff if we can rig up a good cam mount. I will be using the stock tires this time but will soon be upgrading to some Falken Azenis RT-615 which will really show off what the brakes are capable of.


Stay tuned for lots of install pics including comparison pics vs stock and final install behind stock wheels.

 

good stuff, i sold my bbk =D

can't wait to see your install pics

 

how much did it cost you?

 

Congrats.

No comment..but even at my employee price it put a hurt on the bank account.

 

I cant wait to install it! Come on UPS!!!

 

I love mine. Which brake pads are you going to run? Is this your daily driver?

 

Yeah, its a DD. I'll run Axxis Ultimates on the street and Im going to run Ferodo DS2500 at the track.

 

cant wait to see the install on this.

(p.s. can you let me know how you are able to get your fogs on with all the lights on?)

 

Yeah..I keep forgetting to go out and take pics and write up an FAQ. Ill try to do that this weekend.

 

keep me updated.

 

thanks. ive been searching here since i baught the car and i havent had any luck. if you could do that i would be very thank full

 

Bastard!! (Just playin') That was on my Xmas list! Seriously, congrats on your purchase! Can't wait to see how they look on the tC. I might just have to quit buying Jordans for a while and save up for a BBK! Unless Santa brings me one! Do you need spacers in order to install BBK? (For future reference.) Keep us posted!

 

jealous... cant wait to see installed pics.

Our data shows that it needs a 5mm spacer to clear the stock wheels. Ill see if its really needed when I do the install.

 

So I see you got them because you work for them. Are they selling them to the public yet?

 

They have been available to the public since before the tC even came out. It is the same kit as the Celica GT-S which has been out for years.

 

damn erik.... those are massive. haha. will the calipers on the rotors clear 17" rims???

 

Sure will. Just needs a 5mm spacer...and yes they are massive

 

thats wut she said
