I was wondering because I spent hours looking things up and trying to match things out, that is there any Brembo Calipers built for a 94 Tercel's front end breaks? I know this sounds a little much for just a Tercel but I plan on building this thing into a race car.

Hmm, im not sure there is

I think for racing people usualy change the disk itself to a drilled and cross hatched one, for better cooling during races, and change the brake pads and break them in for racing specificly - no idea how thats done. Normaly the pads are broken in by stopping slow, i guess for racing u stop em quick first few hundred times, they must stop better but wear out quicker too

I found some on ebay they dont exacly scream RACING though check it out...

I like the prices of some of them. I already have ordered drilled rotors, and I have some nice brake pads, the only reason I ask about the calipers is because Brembo's site is somewhat confusing when it comes to looking at their caliper catalog. I cleared the brakes better because I have 15" Momo Rims instead of the stock 13" wheels that come with the car. I'm not /too/ concerned about the size of the caliper itself just if any Brembo Calipers were mountable to the Tercel without drastic DIY mounting.

Check out www.speedvisioncps.com They are rather pricy but have a good selection. No calipers unfortunately. I remember some crazy custom Willwood applications I saw online before but the price was insane.

I must ask, I see one of the mods listed under your signature is a voltage stabilizer. What's your opinion on it, and how well does it affect your car? I've been thinking of getting a CWest Voltage Stabilizer for a while now.

I noticed a small difference with it but I'd say buy it more for looks than performance. Had mine for about 4-5 years, just got rid of it recently. Basically, its just a capacitor in a fancy looking box with ring terminal wires. . In theory, a stabilizer will filter the voltage produced by the alternator to smooth the waveform and eliminate minor fluctuations(tenths of a volt). Since filter caps tend to do a lot of work, i got rid of mine before it could cause a problem. The case was starting to rust/corrode as well. I'll be hunting Ebay for a new one eventually.

Those do nothing.

Your battery does far more to "stabilize"( filter) your voltage than a few tiny capacitors.

The maufacturer has made a product for a problem that does not exist.
