I'm curious...I don't know anything about this at all, but how would aftermarket calipers help us in braking?

***EKam*** · 03-17-2002, 09:16 AM

If you look at our stock single-piston caliper, it only compresses the center of the retangular shape brake pad. If 4 piston caliper is used, it compresses the pad more evenly because there are 2 piston on each side compressing on all the surface of the pad at the same time.

Now I don't know how effective this will be (because I never had a car with 4-piston calipers) but it sounds ideal even though the stock rotors are used. Of course it will be the best to get a big brake kit which consist of 4-piston caliper and bigger rotors (which increase braking surface) but I would say this is the "poor man brake upgrade".

Four piston calipers definetly give you much much superior braking compared to what we have right now. A lot of big brake upgrades come with four piston calipers and also performance cars like the Mustang, etc come with four piston calipers OEM. It is definetly a good upgrade as Dickson pointed out.

WOW !

I saw those at the shop in Ottawa that powder coats them ! There were 100+ sitting in the shipping area ready to get packaged to ship (that was last fall if I remember correctly). They are huge in person - I bet you need big, fancy wheels to fit them in ! :smile:

Maybe I'll contact KVR and see if they need CAD help - I might be able to design one for them for 3rd GEN Camrys first :grin:

I never followed up on the projector headlights (similar to the Morettes) - I like Tony the Tiger's better :grin: - BUT I think I might follow through on talking to KVR. I will keep you posted ! Wish me luck...

Good luck Ken. Do you know the store address for KVR Performance in Ottawa? I think its in Gloucester or something.

As for the projector headlights, why not do a quick follow-up on that too, since it is a Canadian source. Soundlzrd is working on his source down South as well I'm sure.
