My brakes on my midwheel base are s*%t replaced rotors pads master cylinder and slave cylinders and still cant stop the thing, made sure the back brakes are ajusted as well.
Does any one know if I can upgrade the callipers on the front to something that works, something that does not need much modification or bolts straight on, without spending the earth
Cheers Russ

Hilux calipers are bigger, V6 4runner are supposed to be bigger again and both bolt on. You'll need to trim/grind the backing plate slightly.
The 80 series master cylinder/booster are bigger and bolt in - but the piston shaft needs a slight extension.

Thanks for that stu I appreciate it, Will start looking at the wreckers, is the adding an extension easy?

Piss easy. I just bolted a bit of square section in between - very dodgy, was meant to be a stop-gap-measure
