Does anyone know what brake pads come on these cars? I had zero fade at the race track. I was surprised.

 

Brembo AFAIK. Guess you weren't going fast enough. :P

That said, the car has brake cooling stock, take a look in the front fender liners.

It's a really well engineered car. Most of the stuff I had to add to the Evo is already there on the supra.

Also, when you are ready to swap pads, the pads are GLUED to the pistons, I found it way easier to take the caliper off the hub and pry the pads out then try and chip away at the glue with a putty knife. Pick your poison though.

 

Oh jeezus.

The track I was on only had one real major braking zone. That's probably why.

 

Did they also make a comic of a Supra owner falling from one of Toyotas ********* and dying after landing on the "auto-only" hill?

 

That sounds terrible. Hopefully it was a 2020 model only deal. Haven't swapped mine out yet since they work fine for what I do.

 

It’s all of them. Taking the caliper off is easy, just two bolts.

Maybe you’ll burn off all the glue by the time you change the pads and get lucky

 

I’m putting you on ignore. Life is too short to continue to argue with 1 of the 100,000 internet idiots.

 

Knowing my luck, I am going to need a 4ft prybar and a 5lb sledge to get them unstuck. The good news is that I have both.

 

hahah, naw, they aren't stuck on there that nutty. It's just that if you have the caliper on the rotor still, there is really no room to pry because the pads are on the rotor. If you keep the caliper on, you can try breaking through the glue with a putty knife. I didn't try that because my OEM pads only had like 1500 miles on them when I swapped, so they where basically full height.

 

This seems painfully accurate and somewhat prophetical.

 

My pads look pretty good still and after a year and a half, I just turned over 8k miles. Going to be a while before they get swapped, especially since I now rarely drive the car (100 miles a month lately), unless I do a big track day of course. @kaj you hear that!? Don't leave me out of the next Laguna event!

I can tell the future for sure

 

It was a good day to be there, for sure. Here's a quick vid of a GT2RS and C8 trying to keep up with me. They almost had me on the front straight, but I left them after.

 

How do the stock brakes (w/ track-rated pads) hold up to extended track use? Is it something that most heavy track people end up upgrading, or can they be made to work with the right pads?

 

The OEM calipers/rotors are great. The rotors are fairly large for the weight of the car and both front/rear are very close to being the same size. 347mm front / 345mm rear.

With the right pad and fluid upgrade, they work perfectly fine.

 

So, I'm a bit disappointed in bimmercode. Pretty much all it let me change was making the auto start button have a memory.

I want a refund
