The GT-4 has a different brake and suspension set-up... so those won't work on our USDM cars... however, It's been said the 7th gen shares the same hub splines with the 6th gens... so the 7th gen big brake kit *should* work... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

There you go again...  Umm... will fit either ST or GT. The outer axle shafts are of the same spline count, so it'll fit either or. The ST does have a different/smaller front brake set-up than the GT, but the front hubs are completely swappable. I believe all of the FWD Celicas share the same spline count for the fronts and the rears are all similar enough to be swappable. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

I think you're talking about a Brembo OE replacement set of discs for a 6th Gen GT (that may or may not have been drilled/slotted). You'd need GT calipers, pads and mounting brackets for this to work. I've done it; it works pretty well but I'd like to have something more substantial. Perhaps a 7th Gen big brake kit is the way to go, I just don't want to be the first guy to attempt it. |

Cause you need the hub genius... can't just "bolt" everything up.

I thought the only difference between the two was the size of the backing plate. When I did my st to GT conversion the junkyard gave me the whole spindle all i used was the backing plate and all the GT stuff bolted right on no problem.

is there anyway to increase braking without a big brake kit. when i had my gt i could hit the brakes really hard about 3 times (not locking them up) just to heat them up. and they would get so hot in just those 3 hard brakings that i couldnt even lock them up at all after that no matter how hard i tried.
any suggestions. oh yeah buy the big brake kit ill bet its awesome. is ti made by TRD. -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck

Slotted rotors, performance pads... steel braided lines... maybe a rebuild? Those little things can dramatically increase braking performance. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

when you apply pressure to them, they dont expand. (like the rubber ones.)
with the rubber, you stomp the brake, and they expand a bit because of the pressure. Steel braided doesn't do that.
