    TRD Big Break Kit...

    How come TRD doesn't make a brake kit for our car?? they make it for the celica and matrix... i honestly think these will look soooo nice on our cars.... can somebody contact trd and ask them if the trd brake kit will fit our cars too?

    It should fit, maybe it's just not listed to fit :?

    I'd rather spend less and get the SSBC front kit that I have. Oh, if you have ABS, don't lock it up or else it will warp the rotors (trust me and another owner) :wink: I'm solving that problem by taking the stupid ABS fuse out cause ABS is actually really bad when trying to race :evil:

    if u ask TRD they'll prolly say it wont work just because it isnt listed for that car, and plus anything TRD is too expensive anyway

    if u guys aren't wiling to pay that much for TRD parts.. then ur not true TRD fans... trust me.. that's expensive but u get wat u pay for... other brands like STOPTECH and BREMBO sell their kits for just as much...

    It's been awhile, but I think I remember "raamaudio" from MatrixOwners.com saying Stoptech made the TRD's. Raamaudio (Rick) is one of our go-to guys when it comes to all things Matrix.

    EDIT: I called TRD. Paul said, has far as he knows, the TRD BB kit is made by Stoptech.

    It is, TRD said it was and Stoptech takes credit for them.

    If you want great big-brakes but don't want to spend over $1000 then go with SSBC, they make some badass kits for half the price of the rest. I have them and they are wonderful, more brakes then the car needs actually.

    We don’t have any current plans for a Corolla kit, but that may change in the future. We have not seen much demand yet for the Corolla platform, but if the demand shows itself, we would develop a kit either on our own or with TRD.



    Sorry we can’t help this time around-

    They dont make it because corolla dont need it. Simple as that. The car is underpowered and light so there is no need to go big breaks. If you really want big break, waste your money on a aftermarket set. Im sure you can find one if they make it for about $1,000.

    who said corolla don't need it? if TRD makes Supercharger for corolla, they should think about making TRD big brake for corolla... also since MR-S/Matrix/Celica has the same engine as the corolla (both 1ZZ and 2ZZ.. explain to me why you think corolla don't need it when TRD makes it for MR-S/Matrix/Celica?

    but.. anyways.. matrix big brake will work.. and you should just get something like Rotora for cheaper..
