Tundra brakes on frs?
I was driving through the Toyota dealer the other day and couldn't help but to find myself staring at the calipers on a toyota tundra wondering if they could be retrofitted to an frs somehow to increase the braking force without having to pay trd $10,000 for their big brake kit.

It would be expensive if not possible at all and heavier than you would want, lots of other better options out there and i bet as more of these twins are released more of these types of parts will be available.

I think your better off trying to find brakes from an STi, it would be much easier to get them installed.

Tundra brakes? You know how much unsprung weight that would add?!?! If you want a serious upgrade, a real upgrade, then consider these:

As said above the STI brakes would be a much better option.
Or brakes from a Liberty GT. Smaller than STI, but larger than stock, and more wheel options |

Tundra brake will be too heavy. Plus the tundra has different bolt patron (6 for the tundra and 5 for the 86).

WRX oriented brakes are going to most likely fit. the car uses the same brakes currently found on wrx's. so anything that is made to fit a wrx...should essentially fit the brz/frs...but it's not confirmed.

There is one reason that it's not a good idea in the stock configuration (leading/trailing piston), and one reason that it is not a good idea in the inverted configuration (bleeder location.) If you go with the inverse setup (Left on Right, right on left), then you no longer have the trailing/leading piston problem. You only have the brake bleeder problem, which can be remedied with the link i posted. Knowing that, I would love to hear your reasoning for why it wouldn't it be a good idea. |

With due respect I was just quoting that link I posted. I am merely repeating information from that thread. Which, to me (not knowing anything about STI brakes) seemed like valid points. Ah... maybe I should have said mutually exclusive points. You can have one of two problems.
I have just read your link. Makes sense. Okies, I am not sure how to amend all my posts to take that into account. |
