big brake kits?

Post by SecretAsianMan »

Braking is usually my first mod on any car...ideally I would just install rotors and calipers from a bigger car of the same generation...is such the case true for our Vibes?

I don't think there is anything OEM that you could upgrade to since you are looking at a GT model which already has the rear disc brakes, and it is the same setup as the XRS Matrix and Corolla. I think most people just get beter pads and maybe rotors if they want to improve the brakes. I don't think anything from a Camry or other Toyotas would work.

I did find this place, but don't know anything about them.

Power slot rotors and hawk pads work real well for my car. http://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/produ ... ts_id=1163" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
