Yeah that's list price on all their stuff. I'm sure a group buy could possibly arranged, What manufacturer are you going with? Wilwood from Precision Brakes?

Wilwood

i'd be down... in the summer time anyway. And i heard rotora was making a mini brake kit for OE replacements.. i wonder what ever happened to those.. I saw an ad and everything

so having a 4 cyclinder sucks huh

only v6 gets to have a nice brake kit .........

If you guys want some good deals on rotora, let me know. My friend gets the BEST DEALS from them. He has prototyped TWO cars for them so they get a really good deal. Probably the lowest prices from them.

You can email him at paul@350zonline.com Let him know that Yukio sent you about Rotora big brakes.

For some reason I couldn't get the link to work. So is it just for the V6 Camry's or will the front brakes work the same on the 4 cylinder.

Toysrme · 02-15-2005, 08:22 PM

I'm still trying to think other than wriath and tony, who in hell could possibly need larger brakes.

Drawing a total blank.

CamryPunk · 02-15-2005, 08:36 PM

^ Uhm... you don't nessesarily need 500hp to have big brakes. There are people here who go canyon carving, auto crossing, and road racing that want more response out of their braking.

Neon · 02-15-2005, 11:19 PM

IF a groupbuy would really happen in the near future, can 4 cyl guys like me participate ??????? or there are no BBK for 4 cyl ???

Toysrme · 02-16-2005, 04:37 AM

there isn't anyone here doing full blown road racing
with basic components there is no reason why every camry on this forum can't do 70-0 in 160-175'. WITH NO FADE...
UfoZ the only time you were pushing 250hp out of that i4 was when you blew it up

Wraith · 02-16-2005, 04:49 AM

It's stuff like this that hinders new products from being produced. If you don't like it or don't feel the need for it yourself then just keep your mouth shut about it. You don't need to talk shit on something because you THINK that nobody would benefit from it.

When I had my camry I did alot of Mountain/Canyon driving and no matter how fresh the brake fluid was or how new the stock sized rotors were. They would eventually warp to all hell after 10k miles. There was also alot of fade with the stock sized rotors. The big rotor kit helped tremendously. And I would have loved to have an actual big brake kit. Just because you don't do the type of driving to where a product like this would be beneficial to you doesn't mean it wouldn't be usefull to other's.

And how about the people that like to take their cars to the track and open it up to high speeds.
Stock sized brakes are worthless in this situation.

Dude... I can't fade my brakes and I roll the heavyest car here LoL!

I can do 120-0 all day... 0-80-0-80-0 as much as I want...
Once i broke my last set of brembro blanks in, they were doing 70-0 in 164'. I've never had them test over 174ft' fully loaded. (almost, or over 3500lbs)
I do the "canyon racing" thing on a road near here about two miles long both ways... Both the corolla, and the protege breaks would not slow the car on return journey. The ES doesn't fade period.
Without all the bloat i've added, and some minor reduction, I'm sure this car could do 70-0 in 160 or less with good tires and deleting some weight. That's porsche terrotory.

If you come down from high (110mph+) with your foot all the way down; ABS is all-ready kicking your foot the pedal to keep the tires from locking.
Don't look at me. Nothing special about my breaks... Just high boil fluid, blank rotors and hawk hps pads...
I don't even remember... ES/camry wagon brakes are v6 up front, and 1" bigger in rear? and add more than a hundred lbs's and ABS standard.

Sorry guys... Not to absilutely try and shoot it down, but for those of us not doing road racing, nor have the ability to do 150mph. I don't really see a reason for larger breaks. Maaaaybe that's just me
