Zman Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hey People, Is it me or do the GS300 brakes feel a bit spongy? I mean they're great if i plant my foot on it, but coasting around takes a bit getting use to. Is this normal for the GS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyes Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Don't you throw an anchor overboard and lower the sails to stop a GS??? Drive another one from a car lot and compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frylai Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 you might need to bleed your brakes if its havent been done for a while, otherwise go got some TRD brake lines and your brakes will feel like a merc... Matt =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkgs300 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Another option is go for a big brake kit. You can fit the Supra 4-pot calipers without any modifications, and together with the Supra rotors this will be the cheapest upgrade. Then you can also fit the TRD bbk. Will significantly improving braking and the brake feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttgs300 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I reckon it must be standard, because i have 2 gs300's, 1 twin turbo and 1 standard, and both of them are a bit spongy! I might try to source a supra 4 pot brake kit and try to see how it goes. Cheers, SID. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frylai Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 if it's just spongy as the feeling of the brakes and you do not need alot of extra performance out of your brakes all you have to do is go for some brake lines...if you need to source the brake kit or brake lines I m always here to help...

hkgs300 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 did you renewed your brake fluid? Also, get stainless brake lines. The spongy feeling is likely caused by too much flex. in the rubber brakelines and/or old brake fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
