Good brakes?

[duckmonk]

I am working on buying more parts for my car and want to get better breaks, improve handling, increase performance etc. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Brembo, Endless, Stoptech, there are lots of good brake companies out there.

Ya, I saw that there are plenty of options.

Even the TRD Celica big brake kit will work on the tC.

Brakes not Breaks.

Try the StopTech Stage II Brake Upgrade kit.. it works great!

Best thing to do is to get new Brake Pads.

I saw that one it does look like its pretty cheap in price so I was probably goona go with that. I didnt even notice i spelled Brakes incorrectly in the message but spelled it correctly in the header.

It's not a big brake kit - it's an oem replacement.... it works great!

krdshark, do you have this stage 2 kit ? what kind of braking increase do you get out of it ? percentage wise ?

i saw that awhile back and it caught my attention but then i figured i wanted wilwood 4 piston or 6 piston breaks.....so i didnt get it.

To be honest, a lot of the braking power is in your tires. Unless you're heavily track'ing the car or autocrossing, you don't need a BBK.

I can't say exactly how much of an increase I got percentage-wise, but after doing the whole system, the brake bite is much much better, and the pedal feel is much firmer.

did you do the install yourself or does it need to be done by a shop ?

ROTORA FTW.

you can install it yourself no matter what. all you need to do is make sure you can bleed the brakes

Installed it by myself... with help from some chapter members.
