Wilwood Brake Set - Toyota Yaris Forums

dngz · 09-05-2006, 11:14 PM

There's a wilwood brake set for the scion xa, xb, and tc. Would the set also fit our yaris'?? LB and sedan??

BulletProofAuto · 09-06-2006, 12:25 AM

my question is why do you need a bbk?

dngz · 09-06-2006, 09:00 AM

i want to mod my car so it's somewhat showroom quality

Idjiit · 09-06-2006, 09:13 AM

My understanding is that it does fit. Try e-mailing Wilwood.

And personally, I think it would be a worthwhile performance mod. The Yaris' braking is pretty weak, which is pretty incredible in a 2,200lb car.

The Yaris's braking is weak? Any time I have ever approached slamming the brakes I had to hold onto something to avoid going through the windshield... still though I sympathize with you wanting a BBK, but you'd be crazy to get one now. Let the aftermarket mature so you aren't stuck in a couple of years staring at someone with a better cheaper system than the one you got right off the bat.

you will not gain anything but probably make driving even more difficult with a bbk. get a set of slotted rotors and paint your calipers red and call it a day. for increased performance wait a couple of months and then pick up a set of endless pads like their vita nuova. you'll save $2,000 and be able to pick up an ings+1 kit.

What the hell "RICE" means?

dngz · 09-06-2006, 07:08 PM

rice as in... all show, no go

ChinoCharles · 09-06-2006, 08:32 PM

No, rice is putting a two-wheel BBK on a 2,200 pound car. If you want to get creative with brakes put two OEM rotors on the back.

Why?

Lafiro · 09-06-2006, 09:54 PM

Actually, after putting my rims on today, I really do want rotors not aswell. These drums just aren't that good looking, but thank god they are atleast black!

Its really a personal preference thing. My feelings... anyone can get a big brake kit installed, but it takes patience, planning and knowledge to do unique mods such as upgrading to four wheel discs. Maybe selfishly I just wanted to drum up conversation on the topic because someone on the board might have had an idea as to what it would take/how hard it would be/etc. There was a thread on it before, but it got buried and a lot of people have joined since then. I don't really know which system would give you better performance... I am assuming any car with four disc brakes instead of two would have a shorter 60-0. Could be wrong... like I said, just trying to be the devil's advocate.

dngz · 09-07-2006, 02:11 AM

well other than performance, it just looks too damn good!!

Same here....

JDM OEM rear disc should be a direct bolt on. I'm not sure they would make a huge difference in the performance dept. though... and drums are actually lighter!

For front, I wasn't able to get ANY fade out of the stock brakes on R-Compounds running for over 30mins at the track this past weekend, but it was a higher speed track that is not very brake intensive... If you aren't tracking the car or don't at least DOUBLE the HP then a big break is not "needed" but may "look nice"

For most, a nice set of pads and stainless lines will do wonders
