brakes

[tmontague]

All I know is that if Jason and other racers on this forum said the stock brakes are more than good enough (except for upgrading pads) than that means they're good enough for me to not worry about upgrading and I'd rather spend the cash elsewhere on this car.

That's what I would have assumed, but I'm not a grease monkey at all.

Yaris brakes are crap.

The problem with the NCP91 Yaris is that the brake disk cannot endure sustained and repeated stops. The Japanese RS and some European RS/TS models were slightly better due to rear disk. The current NCP131 Yaris RS/SE has larger front brakes to address the known issue. I set a personal record in September for the shortest OEM front brake disk life, which was 19 days since new.

I've taken some heat (no pun intended) about something being wrong with my installation or break-in procedure because others have experienced no issues with their brakes during autocross events...
Bullshit.*
I'm the one driving my car. Not them. Doing 180 km/h to zero stops repeatedly does wonders to the material limits of our factory braking system.

Your options are to improve cooling or swap in front brakes from the NCP131.

Maybe that's true, but i'm with tmontague on this one:

End of story.
