Tarox releases ‘Total Braking Solution’ for BRZ/GT 86

Italian braking supremo Tarox has released a raft of exciting brake upgrades for the current darling of the tuning scene; the ‘Toyobaru’. The respected engineering concern has taken its time with its development vehicle to ensure that it can offer an upgrade for every application, severity of use – and even budget!

For those looking to stay ‘dealer friendly’ and stick with the existing hardware, both front and rear disc upgrades have been engineered in Tarox’s well-known ‘Sport Japan’, ‘F2000’, and ‘G88’ guises. In each case, all styles undergo a structural stress-relieving heat treatment at the end of each machining cycle which increases durability and massively reduces the risk of warping under repeated heavy braking. Additionally, all discs are CNC machine-faced for the perfect braking surface, down to a tolerance of 0.015mm, not only resulting in the perfect performance, but also the perfect finish, to accentuate the overall look of the car.

Both front and rear discs are available in all styles, with a choice of ‘Corsa’ tracks pads or ‘Strada’ street pads for the front and ‘Strada’ for the rear. When combined with a set of Tarox’s own hand-finished braided lines, the efficacy of this set-up should not be underestimated. Even when taking into account the relatively inefficient nature of the BRZ/GT86’s ‘sliding’ calipers, all of these set-ups are the perfect match for fast road or track work.

Front discs are priced at £219.00, with the rear discs at £239.00. Front pads in ‘Strada’ compound are £75.00, or in ‘Corsa’ are £139.00. Rear pads are only £69.00 and a full set of four bespoke hoses is just £75.00. All prices exclude VAT.

For those looking for the ultimate compromise between track ability, street looks and sensible outlay can opt for the stunning ‘Sport Compact’ B32 6 piston upgrade out front. This beautifully engineered kit draws heavily on Tarox’s extensive motorsport involvement, boasting a pair of 324mm single piece grooved heat treated discs and the ability to withstand much greater heat and repeated application than the factory stoppers can handle. Priced at just £999.00 + VAT, this is bound to be a very popular upgrade.

For those looking for ultimate stopping power with zero compromises, the ‘Grande Sport Kit’ – complete with its 360mm two-piece heat treated grooved discs and B360 10-piston calipers is pure race-car technology for the road. Don’t be put off by its enviable heritage however, like all Tarox upgrades, full ABS compatibility is retained, and with pad compounds working perfectly even from relatively cold temperatures. This makes the perfect ‘everyday’ kit for any hard-driven BRZ or GT86 and is priced at £2500.00 +VAT.

Whether you’re looking for increased active safety, enhanced looks or drastically reduced stopping distances and lap times, any of these options is a wise first modification for your car.
