Quick (And specific!) brake question(s)

[Jrad]

Hey guys, I've had a bit of a search, but I would like some very specific information on a brake setup for my ADM AE86.

I'm around to fitting up BC coilovers into my car, and would like to put new brakes in at the same time.

I have some requirements for the setup though.
- must fit 14' wheels
- must be relatively cheap, (few hundred I suppose?) I don't want to be going to a wilwood kit or anything.
- preferably use existing calipers - ADM AE86.

With this, are my options basically a set of pads and replacement rotors, all in standard specifications?
Or is it possible I use different rotors from a different model car, whilst retaining the ADM brakes?

Or, are there other suggestions from people for a cheap and cheerful setup going onto the BC coilovers that I can still use 14' wheels with?

Basically, I need the car to stop, but if there are simple upgrades I can do whilst changing them, and they aren't going to cost me a fortune, I will do them.

What are the standard rotor sizes? One website was telling me they're 231.5 mm, another says 234 mm

Thanks in advance!

234mm

get some qfm pads $125pr

cant do much with rotors

vented 234x 18mm can be made to fit but I am not that keen on it

get some braided lines and good fluid while youre at it, should be fine for most situations

As above. Good pads and fluid with an adm setup is fine unless your doing lots of track work

Thanks guys. Sort of as expected, but I like to confirm before actually purchasing anything, as these cars always seem to have infinite options.

What makes you say you're not keen on ventilated?
Is that because the 18mm is forced to fit? Or on ventilated in general?

RDA rotors do a solid slotted rotor (rda700d) at 12.5mm thick. This seems a stock replacement?

Have you heard/know of their reputation/performance?

Get some protex rotors, cheaper and better from my experience.
As for vented you can make them fit adm calipers by shaving down pads by 1/3. Not recommended
Apart from that vented is better in repeated stops obviously

[AJPS]

dont waste your money on solid slotted rotors

[Jrad]

That's what I thought Dave. They looked a bit gimmicky, lol.

And I would prefer not to be shaving anything down/forcing anything to be something it wasn't designed and engineered to be. Especially when it comes to something as vital as brakes - even if I'm not going down the expensive brake route.

Thanks for the words guys and giving me a bit of a lead. Will keep looking around, and researching the mentioned products

Jdm vented (same as usdm) or ajps kit.
