Ke30 Brake Upgrade

[5krolla]

Hey guys, i've got a stock KE30 (3K-C) and i'll be changing the engine over to a 4K soon. When i've got the engine bay clear i want to take out the old rusted brake master cylinder and replace it with a different/stronger one. Is there a brake mc that's cheap/reliable/stronger and easy to fit? How would i go about it? Do i need a kit? What about the actual rotors as well? Is it easy/legal to change the brake rotors to larger ones? Can someone help me out? Keep in mind that i'm not a pro, i'm only learning as i go... :yes:

 

Cheers - Josh.

Hey Josh,

If you have a ke30 with the straight up and down bolts to hold on the MC ('55 ones are offset) then apparently a Patrol 1" bore MC will fit straight onto the ke30 booster. However this sort of thing is only required if you have done a break upgrade and need to push more fluid.

 

Rotor - You can get cross drilled and/or slotted replacement rotor from RDA etc (bout $300 a pair at SCA).

 

Or have a search around here for brake upgrade options, as there is heaps. :yes:

If your running standard calipers/drums there's no point in upgrading the master cylinder as you don't need to push any extra fluid around (as tazrx has said). Best off saving your money and putting it towards a more comprehensive upgrade like maybe a 5K motor.

 

All the best.
