Flogbag Regular Location: Sydney (Campbelltown...!) Registered: December 2003	vented single piston OR twin piston solid Mon, 27 September 2004 12:20 hey ppl had a look at some brakes today for my sprinter at the wreckers as i am wanting to do an upgrade very soon! i seen:- Cressida mx62 early 80's with vented disks single piston caliper but massive pads compared to the stock ones on the sprinter at the moment also had much larger disks RT132? i think? it was a 2 door liftback with 2 round lights each side at the front. anyway this had solid disks which looked as big as the cressida ones but had twin piston calipers (piston on each side) and i noticed that both set of brakes had the calipers on the back (above steering arm) but on the sprinter the calipers are on the front of the disk QUESTIONS: Has anyone had any experiance with both these sets of brakes? i wanna know comparison in stopping power? which would be better? how wheel alignment is affected with the celica twin piston setup if i use those struts? will i definally need another master cylinder if i wanna use twin piston calipers or will the stock sprinter one give good enough pedal feel? how ppl have routed the brake line as the caliper is on the other side of the disk? ppl's recomendations and trouble ppl have had doing this conversion and b4 anyone says use search i have and have been hunting thru these posts for about 2 weeks now trying to find everything i need to know but some things arent discussed in detail and these questions i havnt yet been about to answer thanks for any help [Updated on: Mon, 27 September 2004 12:26] [Report message to a moderator]
