Put uk brakes on it and change the fluid completely, poss upgrade the pads for track days.

CW pads, with Goodridge lines and some good brake fluid will give you much better j-spec brakes. Otherwise, upgrade to UK spec

Porterfield R4S pads, Goodridge brakes lines and Motul 5.1 brake fluid, this seems to satisfy most customers needs. All this has been track tested by myself on many different brake setups and circuits so can personally vouch for it.
All in stock of course. Cheers Paul

I'm interested in the J-spec brake upgrade you mention. How much will that cost and how long does it take you to do ? Geoff |

Hi Paul
Thanks for the quote ... Not entirely sure when I'll do the brake upgrade as I have a couple of other things to sort on the supra first. Geoff |

CW pads, job done! These are amazing! Definately the simplest route until you have the funds to go for a UK-brake upgrade.
