I heard we can use Avalon calipers and they bolt right up. Is this true and will the Celica pads work with the calipers?

Is this an upgrade from the stock brakes? Or is it the same caliper set up, just another option in sourcing parts?

It's an upgrade but honestly u won't feel much braking difference especially if I have ABS also most difference is when u brake at really high speed ur car won't shake like most stock gt do thanks to single position uneven worn pads and dics

97 body style. So any of that same style. I believe it goes 95 - 99. Idk. I just picked a year and looked at part numbers and I can guarantee 97 is one if the years. ABS doesn't matter on toyotas from that generation for pad differences. All 6gc's take the same pad and rotor regardless of ABS.

Reman are OEM castings with replaced internals. That's what reman means. So you're buying the same thing that was on your car from the factory usually.

So I am guessing the only upgrade to this is that the Avalon calipers are two pot compared to the GT which is one?
