after almost a whole month of waiting for a set of brake lines for my car, finally yesterday i had them home and i put my vented disks in it took a couple of hours with cleaning the car and every thing else, the car stops better for much longer time the brake pads are rotrex or something like that they are made in canada, its all i could afford, ferodo gear coming soon, the only thing that keeps the instal of being a true bolt on is that you have to put spacers between the hub and the rotor 1/8 spacers if not it will sit too close for comfort but the whole thing works great

this sunday i clasify, im racing the terc news and pics coming soon

Thats great news! Hope you do well with the terc. I think you are one of a very select few that race their tercel.

So what rotors and calipers did you end up using? Is a spacer the only mod you had to make? Did you fabricate your own spacer?

How about the Paseo brakes, were they a direct bolt on for sure? Did you actually test them?

There are a couple Paseos at my local wrecker. I'm super tempted to grab the rotors and calipers if you think they'll all bolt right on to the tercel steering knuckle.

Thanks and good luck!

paseo brakes, paseo calipers, 1/8 inch thick washer under the rotors and thats it, today i made 32.5s lap that is a mere 0.3from the pace of my nearest rival a suzuki swift gti, too bad the brakes are not fully broken in
