2011 WRX kits!
TCE is currently working on a couple of new kits for the late model WRX! You know you can expect great things here shortly! Recently fit was this new 14" W4A kit. In the works is the matching rear kit....


Todd's RULE of THREE:
Common question: what brake kit should I buy for my car? I hear it on the phone and read it daily in a dozen online forums. So for some time now I've been pushing the Rule of Three:
1. What size wheel are your running? What size can you fit with regard to your chosen wheel diameter?
2. What is your intended use for the kit? A daily driver hardly needs 15lb rotors, but a serious track user would do well to have more mass.
3. What's your budget? No point in shopping a Ferrari if you can only afford a Fiesta right?
Reality: Pick Two.
I don't know anyone who hits the trifecta of a BBK purchase. There are pros and cons to all the offerings on the market. Consider the three elements and see what the pros and cons are for your own car is a good starting point.

REAR Fiesta Kit
TCE is happy to report that our 'in house' rear kit for the all new Fiesta is up and running. TCE is now able to offer buyers both the Factory Wilwood 11.75 kit as well as the TCE version to compliment our own 13" Front Big Brake Kits. A spin on the Factory kit TCE fits its own hats and rotors to match those of the front.

New Rotor option: 92HD
Since 1993 TCE has offered a variety of front brake kits based upon the (then) popular 12.2 x .810 rotor. We expanded that line to include the 13" casting as well some years later. One of the benefits to the narrow rotor kit is wheel clearance; a narrower rotor combines with the caliper to lower the required spoke clearance. When a wider rotor is used the hat offset is reduced and the rotor and caliper mover outward towards the wheel. For some folks this has been and issue as not all factory wheels are "big brake friendly".
The backbone of many TCE kits as been the FSL and now FSLi caliper due to it's cost effectiveness, caliper mass, broad fit range and huge pad selection. This caliper on the .810 casting has been a huge success over the years on dozens of platforms both winning races and turning heads. However for a lot of competitors the .810 casting was a compromise in wheel fit and rotor mass. TCE now offers a new or replacement on all it's 13-.810 FSL kits.
The new option for this is our custom 92HD rotor. The 92HD is a custom rotor that is both thicker and heavier than the conventional .810 directional rotor. By adding 'meat' to both sides of the casting and maximizing the capacity of the FSL caliper we've been able to increase total rotor mass by 15% and not compromise wheel clearance. That's roughly 2lbs more rotor mass to manage your track day use! By design the 92HD only compromises the inner wall clearance by .055" or 1.5mm so most vehicles should not have issues to the lower control arm or ball joint. Shimming of the FSL is more critical and for that reason an assortment of ss shims are also included with each replacement rotor as well as complete kits.
These new castings are available for both new kits and older replacements. Also available in both 8 bolt and 12 bolt hat configurations. There's a $49 up charge on new kits and replacements are slightly more expensive- see the rotor page.
