Rimmer Discs ID Discovered

[Chunk]

36 dollars, i think that's about 18 UK pounds each.
Sounds like a bargain to me.

No worries

The Supra discs are £28.33 each from Brake Parts Online here in the UK. They also show the discs as 82-85 model year. 4 bolt fitting, diameter 258mm & thickness 20mm.

They also have the Vitesse 4 pot calipers at £73 each. So just over £200 for set of calipers & discs, just need those adaptors off Ebay & you have saved yourself one hell of a lot over Rimmers kit price of £405. To be fair to Rimmers though they do include pads, hoses & fittings, all of which you would have to buy separately.

Still, good to know what parts are involved.

Hi Tony,
The only problem is a standard Viteese caliper does not have a spacer fitted between the two halfs were as the one's in the kit do.As Phil and myself found out thats were they leak [V]

If you are getting discs, then make sure you ask for Celica Supra. They are the four Stud items. The later models dropped the Celica name and gained an extra stud. (or turned the owner into a Stud when they bought one. Never worked for me though. [:D] )

Who is the randy Reindeer?

[TR Tony]

That explains why Brake parts Online list 2 different discs, & one of them is indeed described as Celica Supra - that'll be the one then!

John - these Supra discs are listed as 20mm thickness. What did the Vitesse use - solid discs? Shame that a spacer is needed, scuppers my little plan for a cheap upgrade!
