Celica Brake Upgrade

[merc-blue]

i got a pair of RA hubs yesterday for my conversion and when i got them i thought they looked wrong, but now they look right,

TA-022 when there actually on the strut do tey touch? casue the weight of teh disck/hub is probly ramming them right into the caliper

[TA-022]

nah no touching ... fitment is perfect.

xt130 hubs.... maybe rt132 hubs are bigger?

[takai]

Yeah, i have XT130 hubs too. Im making up a new set on the weekend, so i might shell out the extra $20 and see if i can score an RT132 hub and test the difference.

At one point i had an RT132 or ST141 hub as well, but i didnt end up fitting it, not sure what happened to it, might be kickign around in my box of crap.

[TA-022]

id be interested in the results takai .... ill be getting 14x7s this week in a 0 - +4 offset and will have similar issues being a ssr type mesh pattern.

otherwise any1 got a dud caliper theyd like to experiment grinding the ribs down on.??

just dont know if their oil galleries and or if itd affect caliper cooling.

Im also interested in the different hubs as i sourced the strut, hub and lca in one hit. If the RT132 is the better option then i might chase a pair of these down.

Does anyone know if a pair of 14x7" ma61 mags will fit this upgrade?

Cheers, Pete

[takai]

Yeah, MA61 mags will fit the upgrade. I couldnt get an RT132 hub on the weekend, and wont be able to check for a few weeks now.

Cheers for that. Whoopsi just realised this has been answered on pg 6 of this thread.

I might grab a set of the ma61 wheels then. I was also considering the same looking wheels from a Soarer, although these are 15"x6 and maybe a bit harder to find.

Edit, the soarer wheels have a 20mm offset compared to the 8mm supra wheels.

[takai]

Doesnt Rex have a set of Soarer wheels?

[TA-022]

aight i mmight run to pickies this weekend then takai.

[takai]

Ok, can anyone remember if TA22s and XT130s have the same lower spring perch? Im goign to do the upgrade to my new 22, but im thinking about keeping the king springs which are in there atm.

[TA-022]

cant imagine there being a huge difference.

need photos and measurements? ive got xt130 sitting on the shelves at home.

[takai]

Yeah, i have XT130 gear at home. I just cant remember.

I read that also, although it may not cost much to get a spring shop to modify/rewind the bottom of your springs so they will fit the spring saddle.



There is some talk of this in the tech doc below.
