Big Brake Kit on ST, Will this be bolt on? Options

[AnaXyd]

Hello fellow riders,

I'll got some really open 18" rims, which makes our stock ST brakes look sad. I have repainted them to make it look better, but still, this is not looking as I want. And the brake stopping power isn't that great either. I want improvements!

I know there is some alternatives out there to make this better:

- 7th gen brakes on ST. This will bolt directly on the ST hubs.
- st185 brakes. A bit uncertain on this, but I think this is bolt on too.
- GT4 brakes. This is not bolt on, but still possible. I think you have to tap the hubs etc, and get a custom disk.

Well, I will try to look up some 7th gen brakes, but in the meantime I am drooling about this kit:


D2 Racing Sport Front Big Brake Kit 286mm Toyota Celica ST202 97-99

Specs:

Toyota Celica ST202 97-99 5X100 286X26mm

Contains:
2x Braking pads
2x Calipers
2x Rotors
+ Adapters etc

Introduction:
D2 6 Piston Front Brake Kit has 286 X 26mm brake rotor and is
suitable for 15" wheels or above.

All discs are designed by 2-piece disc and the materials of the
bells are made by aluminum.

When the components of the kit are worn, such as the brake discs
or brake pads, AP parts can be fitted onto our brake kit.
Also, the brake pad from the following well-known brands:
AP, FERODO, MINTEX, EBC, PAGID, CARBON METALLIC AND
HAWK can be fitted onto our kit.

Allright then, this looks like a beast to me, and will be a GREAT improvement both look and performance. The price tag for this is USD 2000, but from a Norwegian supplier, which means no big custom fees etc. If I buy a kit off Ebay for around 1500, it will be close to 2000 at my door.

Well, the question is, will this fit bolt-on on a ST? (I hope ST is the same as AT200)

Hey AnaXyd. If you search Ebay.co.uk you will find specific big brake kits for the AT200 (Our cars are AT200 )

Editing that, there were none now, but im 100% sure i've seen it before. still supplied from D2.

Edit2: You know as well as me that there is abit difference between the AT200 and the ST202(which theese brakes are made for) (the St202 got the same brakes as eurospec GT (3sge) and USA GT (5sfe)

Or call, them directly and ask for Kevin or Daryl.
I just installed the exact upgrade on my ST coupe. It was direct fit and the installation went without any problems.
Also, the stopping power is amazing.
