At WMS Brakes we've been doing motorsport / trackday brake kits for various cars for years but in particular the AW11 MR2 - a lot of Mk1.5s etc, I'm told there are WMS kits on some of the AW11 race series cars as well but sadly I don't know which ones.
Anyway, this is the AW11 Mk1 kit, it works with the OEM spec master cylinder, and goes under 15's INCLUDING THE MK3 WHEELS, just, discs are 277mm x 25mm with two versions (the cheaper/2.5mm flatter ST185 version of the kit needs 2.5mm spacers to clear the Mk3 15's, TBC)
I've generated PDF files showing the profiles of both versions, the idea is you can print them, check they are 1:1 scale, stick them to card and cut them out - and offer them up to the inside of your wheels to see if they'll fit!
ST185 disc based version:
www.keri.co.uk/wms/4P041-AW11-FLAT-277m ... otated.pdf
Deeper (sadly currently unavailable) earlier version:
www.keri.co.uk/wms/4P041-AW11-DEEP-277m ... otated.pdf
NOTE: The recomended spec for piston choice is:
- If running OEM AW11 rear calipers (100.0% of OEM area), run 1.25" piston front WMS calipers = 77.5% of OEM area.
- If running SW20 22v rear calipers, (138.7% of OEM area) run 1.38" piston front WMS calipers = 94.5% of OEM area.
Specs are:
- 6061 T6 Aluminium WMS T20 calipers, CNC machined from billet and hard anodised, stainless pistons (two options: 1.38"/1.38" pistons and 1.25"/1.25" pistons, see above).
- 6061 T6 clear anodised brackets, with VERY strong 304 stainless steel threaded inserts (this system is strong enough that we found during testing that an M10 grade 12.9 bolt will actually stretch before the inset fails!).
- Grade 12.9 cap head bolts
- We offer a 12-month NO QUIBBLE guarantee on the piston seals (like most other race ones WMS calipers don't have external seals as they would burn off under competition conditions), if they fail we'll send you new ones even if you've been using them on a tractor. This is to counter the worries people have about piston seals on race calipers........we have only ever needed to supply one or two sets and they were not due to dust getting in - in fact we rarely or never sell any seals to even very old kits, and that includes rally cars (mud/grit everywhere). Bottom line is, keep the calipers clean like you would any other part of the car and there won't be any issues, it's just scaremongering.

They look impressive, it would be nice to dig out a few members using them on their AW11s to provide a bit of feedback! Nice to see that you've calculated the piston size based on the rear calipers to resolve bias issues.
Any plans to offer them for other models of MR2? Or your own rear calipers (presumably a pain due to the handbrake)?
Oh and welcome to the affiliates area

Cheers! I'm sure they will appear, I can't ask them if they are around in the Mk1 section though as far as I know - or is it ok to do a simple "heads-up" thread there just this once to get the ball rolling?

There are a couple of other kits we're working on launching in early 2010:
- 280x20.5mm floating rotor-on-bell upgrade to the existing AW11 kit.
- 300x18mm "light" SW20 front kit using side A of bracket...
- ....296x28mm "heavy duty" SW20 front kit using side B of bracket!!
Once those are done we're moving on to:
- Mk3 front 280mm kit.
- Mk1, 2, 3 rear kits, using MR2 rear calipers.
- 298.5x20.5mm floating rotor-on-bell upgrade to the SW20 kits (F+R).
Most of this has already been designed in the last month or two, just needs phased prototyping/testing!
toxo wrote:Oh and welcome to the affiliates area
Cheers, well chuffed to be here!
Oh, we found through a happy coincidence that we can do a rear SW20 300mm track-only (needs a hyd handbrake) kit using parts we already had - very cool but a small market:

The only MR2 series that permits non-standard brake disks or calipers is the MR2 Super GT, and there are currently no registered mk1s. If anyone is using your kits in either the MR2 Championship or Mk1 Racing series then they're cheating!
I'll keep an eye on your kits though, because there will be a market for them in the Super GT series.

That is a very good price for a brake upgrade, my AP fronts were well over £1K (AW11). Look forward to seeing your rear caliper options.

Cheers / watch this space, safe to say we're not competing with AP Racing in their price bracket (for now! ).

Hmmmmm, maybe that's why they never got in touch with the usual "look, here's my car"!!!!
As I say I was told by a customer that "he'd first seen them on AW11 race cars"...so who knows.

Indeed - I was planning to have a chat with you guys about that as I gather you run the series, given that the plan is F+R Mk1, 2 and 3 it could be "handy", drop me a PM?
I think it'll see some epic racing, with Mk1.5's allowed out to play!

Ah, that could be it! With luck a few of the Starlet lads will be running WMS stuff in that series this year, maybe the odd Gen 6 Celica as well.

Don't know of any of the mk1s running these in TSS either. We're still on standard brakes (but looking to upgrade) F800EAM runs Hi Specs, Not sure what Neil is running but as far as I know he's still stock.

Oh well, who knows - the guy never gave me any more info. Maybe he was having me on!
Well as we can't find the alleged AW11 race car or a photo of it, here are the two WMS semi-sponsored TVRs, at least I know who they are!

LOL, due to be a mystery - but there are rally MR2s out there and those taking part in normal sprints so it's not impossible.

I've always fancied an AW11 gravel rally car, the rear engine must help get the power down. Buuuuuut, I can imagine getting the front to turn in might be a lot harder due to the added understeer - might have to find out one day!

I was gonna ask about MKII setups but somebody already did. Will await with baited breath! Especially anything that might fit under 16's and keep the brake balance correct!

That is indeed the plan!
4 pot WMS calipers, "300mm" discs, fits under 16's, sensible bias:
4P018 = 298.5x18mm "light" one piece 5.21kg disc kits
4P065 = 296x28mm "heavy duty" one piece 8.03kg disc kits
Might be able to find a "few" takers methinks.

IIRC the amount you can fit under a 16" rim depends whether it's a 3 piece split rim or a single piece rim?
I'm gonna hold off refurbing my front brakes to see what comes of this

'tis true, split rims and really deep-dish wheels tend to put spokes and bolts etc too close to the caliper area.
I can generate a print-and-test PDF for each of the SW20 kits as well though - saves the guesswork.

I've done a search to see if there are any people already mentioning their WMS brakes in public (only on IMOC) and found a few!
'course they might not have the brakes or the cars any more, but here's what I found, inc links:

I would be very interested in a MK2 4 pot setup.
Also, on the Starlet note, if you can design a 4 pot setup for them that costs less than than £800 then you will make an absolute killing on the Starlet forums. At the moment the only available 4 pot setup for Starlets is the Willwood kit which traders sell for £800+

Another disc option for the mk1 which might be worth looking into is that fitted to the 2002-07 Corolla T Sport. It's a 275x25 disc but most importantly it's already 4x100 so assuming there's no clearance issues it's potentially an off the shelf part which would require no further modification. Part number on Brakesint is "BDS5937" if you fancy having a look to see whether it may be useable.
I've been pondering building myself a Wilwood setup based around this disc but don't really have the time/money to get hold of the parts to see if it's feasible just yet.
