For those of you that track your car. What pads are u using. I was recommended ebc yellow stuff. But apparently they dont make any for the rears. They only make few toyota rears. Nothing that i think is compatible with the celica.

Planning on using yellow in the front and red in the back. Since the front is the one that makes more difference. Wanted to see what other guys are doing. Even with other cars.

Tried to start a decent conversation in the other place. Lol, i would have been better to talk about something else...

In addition to pads your fluid and rotors make a difference. If money is of no concern and you want the absolute best then plop down for Castrol SRF DOT 4 at $60 a litre, if you want something that's still really good but on a more conscientious budget then the Castrol Synthetic DOT 4 at $16 a litre is the way to go. Actually if you look on Amazon you can get a case of twelve 12 oz bottles for about $35, so a gallon for $35 is a bargain just have to deal with smaller containers. As far as rotors go in an off the shelf option the Centric High Carbon/Cryogenic rotors are some of the best out there and are a favourite for many that track and autocross their cars.

Also worth mentioning both Castrol brake fluids are formulated with all the additives and protectants to keep moisture from ruining your system, which is something a lot of other race fluids don't have. I.E. the Castrol stuff is streetable.
