Just wanted to know if any body knows a good place to get custom rotors. Im trying to put some evo calipers on my celica and the back caliper bolts right up to where the rear gt caliper is but i need a little bigger diameter rotor because the pad on the brembos hangs off the rotor a little

The 7th gen big brakes kits are suppose to bolt right onto our front.

I know the evo brakes are 320mm, and i think the celica big brakes are just a bit bigger than that. Maybe give those a try. Keep us updated.

yes the evo rear caliper bolts right up to the rear and work well the rotor could just be a little bigger because the pads hang off a little bit

GT-FOUR brakes -

Front 315mm with 4 pot calipers.

Rear - 315mm with 2 pot calipers.

Plus they have 'Celica' on them biggrin.gif Probably a darn sight easier bolting these up than trying to fit some EVO brakes. I'd be suprised in the caliper offset was anywhere near the same anyway.

According to Xpander, the bracket spacing is correct and does match up to the macphearson knuckles, but they are threaded differently, and the knuckles don't come out far enough to fit a large rotor. I'm willing to bet it's the same deal with EVO calipers... Even if the calipers bolted up, the knuckle spacing won't come out far enough to fit a larger rotor.

that is the problem on the front, but i was thinking if i could get the adapter brackets and rotors from a 7th gen brembo big brake kit they might work, and as for gt4 brakes they are expensive and I already have the evo calipers. As I said the backs line up really well I just need to find a bigger diameter rotorso the ends of the pads don't hang off the rotor
