mikey_m Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 I have just completed the following. XT130 Strut, Converted to Coilovers - As per article, work a treat. XT130 Hubs DBA Slotted XT130 Discs XT130 Twin Pot - Sumiatomo Calipers EBC Greenstuff Ceramic Pads All Cheap and easy, seems to initially be braking OK, but need to spend more time bleeding brake lines. Not quite right here, might need new master. Quote
Shame_inc Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 u need a bigger master for this brack upgrade otherwise ur paddle will feel spangy n go to the floor cause the 4 spot calipers need more fluid pushed in to them to get them to work and your orginal brake master dosn't push enough fluid to them this is y you have to pump the peddle.

bLinded_ Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 You don't need a bigger MC for the conversion Mikey_M has done. The standard one is perfectly fine for the 2 spot Corona callipers. The H/P/C one in the link you posted is for massive 4 spot callipers from a Hi-lux. In the case of that, then yes you will need to upgrade to a 15/16" minimum MC. :wink: The other 4 piston upgrade that is more used is the RX7 calliper upgrade. Lighter setup with alloy callipers as opposed to big bloody cast hilux ones. Though, they both will make a 900kg corolla stop on a dime :y: Quote
Shame_inc Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 r fairenough i would still upgrade it thow to something bigger Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Id be getting a New MC eitherway. I got TA22 brakes in a KE55, not huge but the pedal is spongey. But i got Pajero MC sitting in office ready to go in when i remember :bash: Quote
