Big Brake kits

[Angrysubie64]

I am thinking about getting a Stoptech big Brake Kit for my Celica SX. Could someone clarify to me on whether big brake kits are road-legal or not?

I would highly recommend that you contact your State Motor vehicle Transport Dept to confirm. I did a Google search so essentially it is an upgrade of the rotors, calipers and brake lines.

Doubt if this will be a road-legal issue.

What do you mean by ‘State Motor vehicle Transport Dept’?

[campbeam]

The Govt. Dept that deals with motor vehicle registrations in your State.

Oh, Vicroads. Well Of course I could contact them about it.

I've contacted Vic Roads and they said that as long as the aftermarket big brake kit is vehicle specific, not universal.
