Then they get hot and start fading. Then they get hotter and quit working altogether! Been there, done that... fortunately, they recover quickly.

with a good high temp pad (hp+ or blue) and fluid, they should do fairly well since the car is light, but a little bit of ducting could go a long way!

loren, what kind of pads are you running now? im going to look into what other calipers may have the same part number so we can possible get another pad on the car, but i dunno what the chances of finding another are. have you done any ducting yet?

I've got some sort of Endless high-end street pad on the car. They're better than stock pads, but they do indeed have an "End"!

Yes, some brake ducting did help.

I agree, a really good track pad, high temp fluid, and some cooling ducts should be all any of us will really need.

Those are some nice calipers!

and price is not bad

Is anyone here actually installing these on a Yaris?

Wonder what would be required. Custom brackets?
