DFish 4 Posted December 6, 2012 For a while I've been thinking that the iQ's brakes are not all that....So I thought these might just be enough. ;)Fish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 6, 2012 WOW! STOP! Easy now... Are you seriously going to fit these to your iQ? I think they'll certainly put a STOP to bad braking and may well STOP you from colliding with somefink. Will they fit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craggle 230 Posted December 6, 2012 Think there may be too many holes in them for the wheel studs. ;)Craig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soeley 190 Posted December 6, 2012 I find the brakes very good, tried them out on a down hill section the other week. Not a full on E-stop but heavy footed and was really pleased. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnan 41 Posted December 6, 2012 I had a completely unexpected emergency stop last year when a pack of dogs got out of a kennels setup next to a main road out in the country, as I was passsing in the IQ at about 60mph. I just slammed everything on to stop as quickly as posssible and was very impressed at the very rapid and controlled stop that unsued bearing in mind that I also had to steer in amongst the dogs while braking. I don't think I could have stopped any quicker without the wheels locking up, which obviously would have been not good. So I am happy with what I've got !

DFish 4 Posted December 7, 2012 They are in fact being installed on my other car as I dont fancy when it's on track.The OE brakes on the iQ are not bad to be fair, nothing that I'd be looking to change for a city car.Fish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surfcitylocal 64 Posted December 7, 2012 They are out there though...Big Brake Kit Scion iQ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFish 4 Posted December 7, 2012 Taz there's no way I would touch them, not using Wilwood calipers! I would have more faith on a chocolate teapot over those. Only ever use AP, Brembo or Alcon for brake upgrades.Fish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surfcitylocal 64 Posted December 8, 2012 Not doing it to my ride. I have changed out my rotors to the ones from R1 Concepts Brake Parts but the calipers are still stock. With the modifications I've done on my wheels (clearance issues) I wouldn't be able to fit a big brake kit in there.I haven't see any kits from the companies you mentioned. "chocolate teapot" that's priceless. I'll have to remember that phrase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFish 4 Posted December 9, 2012 They look like a copy of the AP 5000 family calipers, but never tried them as brakes are something I'd rather have 100%.Fish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
