Also beware of cheap brakes! They're not that expensive from Toyota (with my discount
) and I warped some 'OEM quality' rear discs pretty quickly - clearly not OEM quality at all. 2 secs I'll find the prices. Parts for mine will be the same as yours where brakes are concerned.Edit:
1 x T04466-17090 Rear pad set (4 pads) £24.85
2 x T42431-17060 Rear disc £90.07
The expensive parts were the fitting kits, all the shims, clips and springs etc. You should be able to reuse these from your old brakes but they were mostly missing on mine.
Those prices are ex-VAT. Don't know how they compare to Fensport but they are generally very expensive!
Other things to check while you're under there are that your handbrake works properly both sides, this mechanism can fail (cables can let water in and freeze if the boots are shot and the sliders on the calipers can stick). It's fine to use Blueprint handbrake cables and they're available from Camskill. Brake calipers etc are available from Brakes International and if your brake hoses are perished then it's just as cheap to get a Goodridge braided set from Bob Hatton on IMOC as it is to get Blueprint ones or Toyota ones.

Thanks mate. left my Visa card at home, so will order tomorrow, need front and back, may as well do everything at the same time!!

No worries :thumbup1: let me know if you want me to order any parts in. My next parts order comes in on Friday which includes my new master cylinder!

Oooooooh nice. Hard to fit?? not that ours needs one (yet)

No just messy. Seals are leaking in mine, not completely flipped so it still sorta works but it's letting air into the system so the pedal response is very unpredictable and the brakes are unbleedable.
I expect Dan will want some parts for his IS200 soon as well so the next parts order might be a big one

Well put me down for fronts and rears + pads all round please. Toyota price is better than Fensports price!!

Dropped brake parts off for this earlier, car looking very tidy indeed :thumbup1: I almost didn't want to park mine next to it!

Wish I was there to have a look at yours/meet you.
The breaks are going to be fitted next Sunday.

Mine currently has no interior again, not a good look
I'd rather people saw it when it looks good at least!
Mr2 gts - FirebirdPhil - 21-10-2017
At least its only a small interior!!
