Postby KinLoud » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:48 pm

Doing research for brake upgrades.
Wanting to know what diameter the pistons are for Supra twin pot brakes.
Also - what size rear piston
Also - what size brake master cylinder?

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

Yeah - much appreciated if I can get the diameters please no matter how much you hate them... ;) !!
Wanting to find a set of twin pots that have 42mm pistons - probably off a bigger/more powerful toyota.

This is to help get brake bias pretty correct before the bias valve makes the finer corrections.

Looking at twinpots as 4pots need way more room. i.e. bigger offset wheels/spacers, which begins to stuff up the cost!

Thanks.

there a big arse heavy caliper ken
i was going to use them on my race car but opted out due to the weight factor and the share size
i know this doesnt help you with sizes, but again from memory sw20 have some nice twin pots i cant remember, thats what i ended up using before i sold it

i use to have some big fat mo fo soarer calipers but the boys at work must of binned them
if i can fine them you can have them
