I've problem with my brakes on my Toyota Cressida. Just fitted a Big double layer servo and a pair of twin port caliper. Yet the brakes seems sluggish.
my dad own cressida last time..brake also got problem...heard from some japan technician say that toyota brake pump will spoil in a certain years shorter than other brand pump...i think u should check the pump..
japan rims will always be expensive, hence our market is flooded with imitation from taiwan and other countries. they build quality will never be as good as japan made rims.
