Just got the brakes form my old STI that I used for track days put on the Stivo...

Kinda look redicullous.. but cool anyway

Stops on a dime  :)

That's my kinda breaking power. Nothing like a good dose of overkill especially if you're the last of the late breakers ;)

That's the 2nd Sportivo I've seen with that set-up now ;)

the other one was a guy I used to play basketball against in Adelaide (White Sportivo on 18's) it's the only corolla on 18's that had bakes that didn't look rediculously small...

Gotta love that stopping power though, how's it effect the brake force distributor???

The braking is phenomenal....

All I did was change the brakes and put on some braided lines.

The brake force distributor took a few hard stops to get things right but no problems now.

I am now the last of the extremely late breakers

A set up like this will cost way too much money.... over 6k!

(i was just lucky I had them from an old race car, 4 pots will be cheaper)

unfortunately to get bigger you need to spend lots. There is stuff you can do to the originals (fluid, pads, discs, etc), but unfortuntely bigger gets expensive

I hear ya! My brakes look tiny!

Agreed with what others have said though, the stockers work ok for road use and its not overly hard to change the rotors and pads.

Stockers are actually quite good i found. For standard road use they work really well. huge brakes only really come into their own at high speeds or repated hard stops. There is not as much difference at low speeds.

Got the car how i want it, so will be leaving it for now.... no Supercharger... yet :-)

veering a little away from the main topic, but is it just me or are the sportivo brakes a little weak? i own a normal corolla, and the brakes seem to be more responsive than that of the stivo (both driving at normal speeds), but from what i've read, the corolla has ventilated discs on all fours, while the stivo has discs at the front, and drums at the back... can anyone clarify all this for me? are the brakes on the standard corolla better? or is it just me?

Melvin, on the Sportivo it has 4 ventilated disk brakes.

Has anyone got any quotes on the price for DBA slotted rotors for the Rolla Sportivo? Would be the better option of upgrading the brakes rather then spending lots on large brakes.

All current Corolla's have ventilated front and solid rear discs, ABS optional on Ascent/Conquest, standard on the others, not sure if there is a size difference Sportivo and the others, but you'd think there should be, given the increased performance.

DBA do not make brakes compatible with our cars, nor do they make blanks anymore either (and lost quite a few sales because of it too :angry: ). Dave (Screaminrolla) has DBA upgrade brakes designed for the Celica and got them re-drilled... cost a bit too in not only cash but time and effort to find some one willing to do the work...

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP
