Just looking at brakes for my starlet. Is it possible to get good rear brakes without spending too much money? Im upgrading the fronts so I thought I might as well put something decent on the back.

Cheers

Edit: Is there some that will bolt up straight from another vehicle even?

What do you define as spending too much money?

Personally if I want to go fast then I start at the brakes first, IMO there is no point in going fast if ya cant stop :wink:

What have you upgraded the front to? the back might be suitable if the front has been done as well

I put disks off a 1986 Mark 2 Corona on. They are huge disks about 10cm or so maybe more. (Huge compared to Starlet standard.)

I meant spending too much money as in I would like to get the brakes off an old car that I don't have to spend much on. :oops:

I meant to say brakes are about 10" not cm

You must have slightly bigger wheels than 13"
