Sinergy Motorsports is the seventh authorised distributor of Endless braking products in Australia.

As the Supra is a big and heavy car (let's be realistic here), we need decent (not entry level) brakepads to slow us down. Here is a list of the Endless brakepads that have been recommended by Endless Australia as their retail prices for your reference:


SS-S $240 per set = $480 RRP front and back (0.35-0.43 0-500'C)
SS-M $340 per set = $680 RRP front and back (0.30-0.40 0-530'C)
CC-A $240 per set = $480 RRP front and back (0.38-0.45 50-480'C)
CC-X $595 RRP front and back (0.38-0.50 50-700'C)
Type R $340 per set = $680 RRP front and back (0.35-0.45 0-650'C)
CC-R $800 RRP front and back (0.35-0.42 150-800'C)

street SS-S/SS-M --> CC-A --> CC-X --> TypeR --> CC-R --> ME20/ME22 race pads

SS = Non steel
CC = carbon ceramic compound
'C ranges are optimum temp ranges - the higher rated pads will work from cold and even in snow conditions.

Sinergy can offer SA Supra club members discount for any of the pads from the Endless range. We offer the full range of Endless brakepads with a focus on circuit and semi-race applications. Significant discount is offered to SA Supra Club financial members for Supra specific Endless brakepads. Questions about Endless brakepads, rotors, calipers and ZEAL suspension systems should be directed towards me.

I will try to expand this post at a later stage and explain each pad type with the relevant application when i can. We also offer brakepads from EBC, rotors from DBA and RDA, and suspension upgrades from Bilstein and Whiteline.

Here are the TRD pads pricing for comparison too:
TRD black US$224 (front and rear) on Kinway = ~AUD$275 w/o shipping (0.32-0.48 braking coefficient, 0-500'C temp rating)
TRD red US$320 (front and rear) on Kinway = ~AUD$390 w/o shipping (0.35-0.52 coefficient, 0-650'C temp rating)

TRD Black fit 2/1 (16" type 04491-JA820/04492-JA820) and 4/2 (17" type 04491-JA830/04492-JA830) brakes
TRD Red appear to only be available for the big brakes (17" type 04491-JA841/04492-JA840)


I would recommend Endless TypeR or CC-X as the limit of most forum members' applications. I am currently running the circuit spec CC-R pads (150-800'C temp rated) on my car, but would not recommend these for street use as these are semi-race pads... not the best for cold stops in winter!

PM me or chat to me if you would like more info as i am one of the agents to contact for Endless in SA.

^^ thanks RZ TT 94 :cheers:

i'd rather put my faith in a nice set of Falkens instead of retreads any day! tires, brakes, you do get what you pay for...

Endless brakepads are intended for serious driving: maximum braking ability, minimum fade, stop after stop after stop. However, you will probably find them more beneficial in the Hills or on a race-track instead of daily street driving.

i'd suggest trying upgraded pads and rotors before changing entire braking systems.

can mk4/A80 brakes be fitted? i wonder if you could fit either the 2/1 standard A80 brakes or even better, the 4/2 big brakes... i've not thought about this before - comments from the other A70 owners?

if it's any help, i will be dropping my 2/1 calipers, rotors and pads later on this year for a completely new brake set up.

by any chance could i borrow them when you do Kim and ill see if they can be adapted. Imagine the stopping power of 4/2 brakes on a mk3

Here are the TRD pads pricing from Kinway for comparison:

TRD black US$224 (front and rear) on Kinway = ~AUD$275 w/o shipping (0.32-0.48 braking coefficient, 0-500'C temp rating)
TRD red US$320 (front and rear) on Kinway = ~AUD$390 w/o shipping (0.35-0.52 coefficient, 0-650'C temp rating)

TRD Black fit 2/1 (16" type 04491-JA820/04492-JA820) and 4/2 (17" type 04491-JA830/04492-JA830) brakes
TRD Red appear to only fit the big brakes (17" type 04491-JA841/04492-JA840)

Endless SS-S or CC-A (both AUD$360) would be similar to / better than TRD Black
Endless CC-X (AUD$475) or TypeR (AUD$510) would be similar to (better than) TRD Reds

thats not too bad for TRD, shipping would suck though i bet.
Gonna start looking into the mk4 brakes though
