Brake Upgrades for Yaris Hatch!

[ItalianYaris]

Thanks for the info! Im ot necessarily looking for bigger brakes, just for something better. The thing is the Yaris TS is heavier than the Yaris you guys get in the US. Your model is a 3 door hatch only no? which weights at about 1,010 Kg (2226 pounds), while the Yaris TS (5 Door Hatch) weights at around 1,125 kg. (2480 pounds). I just wanted to know if there was any kit available for the Yaris out there. It comes with 4 disk brakes already, just wanted a better system! Im planning to do some work on it and well, more power, better brakes! :)

I would try different pad material and stainless break lines before buying rotors. The stainless lines add a much firmer feel to the pedal.

I am going to have to agree with you on this one. I was reading PAS mag and they did a hole break jo on the car. At the end they remembered the EBD and said the best bang-for-the-buck and proformance wise, was to just upgrade pads, shoes, and go to s/s lines
