Which is why I'll be going for the brembo performance kit with DBA T3 discs and pads.Even still, with the right discs and pads you'll be fine for lap after lap. It'll just be the rate of replacements that'll you'll need to keep an eye on
Tested out the upgrade today, after bedding them in, on a road I know well. Bite certainly better as well as feel through the pedal. Let's see how they do across the DolomitesAt the first annual service the brake pads were showing 80% wear and fractures at 11200 miles. Exactly what I had expected due to driving style on the local roads we have to enjoy around here but more rapid than initially though. Based on my experience of upgrading the Saab Aero last year, I went with the same pad and fluid combo on the existing disks, which were in perfect condition. The Saab had to receive new disks and had some Brembos fitted. So a week before our 3 week Euro hoon, I am fitting these for some comfort. This will never be a track car anyway.

I believe they're the same model, but couldn't tell you if that's where they're sourcing them from. I believe not though.
Those look good. Might get expensive!!
This the kit from Godspeed? Agree that the man maths is starting to work, especially flinging the car round the swiss alps and smoking the brakes got me thinking they could do with an upgrade..! Also positive that they fit with OEM wheels.
They can paint them yes, someone else had them done yellow.

I'm very curious to see how this goes. If it comes out well I may do the sameSpoke to Ian and I've just ordered a full front & rear big brake kit from Godspeed
As they don't recognise Toyota's paint code (DAR), I've decided on Prismatic Powder's 'Chevy Rapid Blue' for the calipers, which seems like a decent pairing with the Electric Blue of the GR86. Fitting at Hypertech TBC.

So good you quoted me twice eh @911sse ?
That's the bier kicking in last night. The kit sounds good, are you able to DM me the cost out of interest? Although, I know you'll have paid more to match your nail colourSo good you quoted me twice eh @911sse ?
When I said full kit, I meant both front and rear 2-pot sets. They come with everything you need to bolt straight on, except for any lines because the standard (OEM) ones fit and it uses them. For GT86, read also GR86.
This is the text taken from my invoice for your info:
“Toyota GT86 front Godspeed 330mm brake kit including 330mm x 28mm G hook fully floating discs and bells, alloy brackets and bolts, pads , Brembo 4 pot calipers custom powder coated in Chevy Rapid blue and pad fitting kit.
Toyota GT86 rear 2 pot brake kit, include Chevy Rapid blue calipers, 316mm G hook discs, kevlar pads, bolts and pad pin kit.”
