Racing Brakes for the GR Corolla - EBC 2 Piece Rotors and Blue Stuff Pads!

[@tatertotsandbattlebots]

A work light on the ground facing up into the wheel well when filming the rear pad change would have helped a lot.

[@circuitdemon_]

Noted!

[@easypz05]

Doesn't EBC come with adhesive shims that you ccan cut out and apply?

[@DBX79]

I've got the Ice Cap GR Corolla, but that Black version looks good too!

[@circuitdemon_]

Love the bright white! Just had a heavy metal one stop by the shop last week, that one may take the cake!

[@DBX79]

@@circuitdemon_ They’re great cars to own. They’re getting a lot of flack from other enthusiasts, but all the setbacks, and learning curves are a part of the experience; it’s not all negative. There’s plenty that I like about the car. The size, and the power are two things!

@@circuitdemon_ I was really in the market for a heavy metal GRC but I couldn't pass up a great great deal on a black GRC. Have it for a day now 😆

I notice that you remove the bolts that Toyota says to not remove, even on the service manual have a massive note in red to not remove the caliper like that because if you do, you need to re torque in a sequence

[@circuitdemon_]

Never have heard of this before, how else would you replace the rotor? Sure there is a torque spec for the caliper but it’s totally fine to remove it and reinstall with the same torque spec.

[@canchume]

@@circuitdemon_I posted on the gr fb group, there os a hole procedure when you remove the caliper like that

[@canchume]

@@circuitdemon_on the brake there is 2 17mm bolts that hold the hole bracket in place, those goes torque at 79lbft

[@carlstrohm3785]

It's a radial mount caliper, not a rocket. Just torque the top bolt first and it will be fine.

[@carlstrohm3785]

I could search but I'm lazy, have you addressed the rear diff overheating issue? I saw that there are new gears, ring and pinion, that are the same ratio as the front to eliminate the overdriven rear to front push/friction/heat causing issue available now.

[@circuitdemon_]

We did see that, we don’t really have enough information yet to see if that fixes it, as other issues may arise from that swap

[@bigboy6969100]

Well, this system fit on my corolla 2020 le

[@carsfeverguy15]

What was the weight of the rotors??? Oem vs ebc?

[@circuitdemon_]

EBC is 22.4 lbs per rotor, and the OEMs are 22.3 lbs. So the they are only a tenth of a pound difference, with the OEM actually being the lighter one from our research.

[@ryan2376]

How sqeaky are the bluestuff pads? I've heard they sqeak when they're cold. I have a front set already in my garage for my Stinger that I'm on the fence about installing.

[@ottoaguilar2392]

Hows the bluestuff pads?

[@ryan2376]

@@ottoaguilar2392 still never installed them, rolling with a more daily use friendly bosch quietcast front pad at the moment.

[@breaks_n_stuff4049]

Cost per is $600 US?

[@circuitdemon_]

Correct, so $1200USD for the complete OEM front pair.
