Ok, we'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Sweet, glad to see some interest.

The brake kit would probably require a different bracket to be c&c'd up for the ST but is definately doable.

These brake kits we're developing, unlike the 8-pot brake kits on EBay and available in the aftermarket, should be much better suited to the car. 8-piston calipers on a giant oversized rotor is just way too big IMO and would probably make drivability suffer by being way too touchy. Being a four piston caliper with a 321mm rotor will allow for a much better pedal feel, but with alot of stopping power available due to the braking surface area. Plus, they'll be less expensive and have the ability to use OEM parts for upkeep.


Punisher and I will work on getting a set or two installed, and then let you all know what our experiences are....hopefully we can provide a good upgrade for the community.

Swappers need them,lol. 7th gen rotors fit on the front, and I think that's for st or gt. I used to have gt rotors on the front wheels of my st. $1100 is a good starting price Punisher. Are they going to be slotted and cross drilled?

Slotted and cross drilled will be an option. There will be different levels of the kit. Blank rotors will be cheaper.. You can upgrade to slotted/drilled.. As of now there is nothing new to report as I'm waiting on parts to arrive still. UPS Ground from Cali takes 5-6 days .

I don't really understand the need for a big brake kit. I have stock rotors with semi-metallic break pads and I can drive hard for 20 mins before I get significant fade. My GT will stop on a dime too. I've got some nice 4 piston calipers ready to be put on the front of the car, but I would have to scrap my 15inch racing wheels to run them. If you want a pretty car, just invest in some paint and stop worrying about big brakes.

Link to the brake pads I use. I have them front and rear.

i'll be road course racing soooo BBK = needed

if you guys want to test fit the GT kit on an ST to see if they work give me a call, Corey knows the number

won't the stock 4 pot front brakes and 2 pot rears from the st205 GT4 fit?

no it would not fit. the st205 has super strut suspension, and it does not transfer "easily" to the macpherson strut suspesion found on the USA celcia.

Just to give an update, the big brake kit is coming along rather well. It shouldn't be too much longer now.

you & corey are welcome to test the setup on my ST when the time comes

What happened to all this?

Just some FYI, you should be able to run subura GC8 rotors on st202's without the superstrut. They would be able to work with the superstrut, but they are too small, therefore getting a bigger size persay, that of the stock 205 rotors would work just fine. I say this btw, because i am currently running GC8 rotors on my 205 (lol, funny story behind it) as a way of getting around for the time being. I also test fitted them on an st202 with and without superstrut for clearance issues.

Maybe for the point of having other options availible, they might also work the stateside GT's/ST's. If anyone might need a spare rotor for research ill be happy to provide them with one!! Or maybe also even a steering knuckle. Lol, but thats just reaching too far i guess.

TBH no one in the UK wanted to try this because every one in the Celica club UK agrees that the gen 7 celica brakes are the biggest let down on the car. Most even upgrade to the ST205 Calipers so why would you want to put gen 7 brakes on your gen 6?

I'd be interested in toying with this. Send me a pm.....

I was more interested with the big brake kit being made by members, not really worried about the 7th gen brakes too much

the reason why this was important ( for US at least ) is the option of bolting 7th gen Big brake kits to our cars with no modification, there are some brake kits made for the 7th gen that range from 700 and up, a lot cheaper option than buying one advertise for the 6th gen which typically runs for over 1100.

I had a 7th gen GTS brake system on my car for over a year and have no complains, it didn't feel as a obvious upgrade, but they perform really well, now i have upgraded to the ST205 brake system, and I have yet to really push these brakes to see how they stop my ST, I still have to do some tweaking to my suspension in order for the brakes to behave / perform as they should.

Question though? Do you mean a 7th Gen GT or GT-S brakes? I've come across a few 7th Gen's at a Junkyard around 45 mins away from my place but i never got the idea to take the brakes. They were all GT's Though so iono. if anyones interested and they live in SoCal Near Riverside head to the pick-a-part on Pyrite of the 60 freeway thats where i've found around 4 before

SS-II/SS-III brakes is what u need. (2pot)

7th gen GT as smaller, you want GTS unless they are 2003+ after 2003 they are all the same ( GT and GTS )



not available in the states and SS III ( superstrut ) brakes would involve some modification to work just like ST205 brakes. not impossible
