Quick question about brakes., so you're sayin' Options

[hiflytsi]

GT models have four wheel vented disk brakes or am I missing something, or am I just plain wrong. 'preciate it.

[presure2]

the gt's have disk all around but i think the rears arnt vented.

[Charlie97L]

they are vented, but they won't go on a US celica because the axle spindles are different.

[95STCelica]

It's not fair that the ST's have rear drums, i want to get rotors all around...man..someone switch cars with me

[Milds3vn]

Hey man don't worry, you can do a drum --> disc conversion, I gotta do this eventually. Check the how-to articles, someone did a write up on their conversion. It really shouldn't be a necesity unless you have alota horsepower or your car somehow gained 1000lbs. Bigger drilled/sloted rotors and carbon metalic pads in the front should be sufficient untill you start going high horsepower. Drums aren't great but they will do, Ferrari's raced with drum breaks for the longest time back in the 60's which shows you they can work in high speed applications, not as well but better than nothing. Discs sure look alot better with rims though....

Yea, but have you ever tried to power brake your car for a launch with an auto? IT torques forward. The brakes just can't hold much.

[95STCelica]

You shouldn't be doing that anyway unless you want to destroy your transmission

[FallenHero]

It's better than a neutral shift.

disc brakes offer better braking and look cooler since you can paint the calipers and sh1t. So do a drum --> disc swap is what i say.

[FallenHero]

Yea, I agree. do the rear brakes from a 5th gen work on a st 6th?

Not sure what years the 5th gen was off hand, by i know that the brakes off a 88 GT-s will work.
Here's the link of someone that has done it. ( 88 GT-s Conversion )

I just got my new crossdrilled slotted rotors for my celica today.. there sweet as HELL! Ill post a pick really soon of them

I scanned them because I dont have the privledge of a digi camera so they look kinda ovalish but there round




here is a link to where you can get them.. the 6th gen celica isnt listed on there application sheet... don't think they have updated it yet.

Heh heh, you scanned them. Oh well, i use my webcam to show off all my new crap.
How much did they run you?

[3TST]

Hey NEVERSTOP,
Nice One!
Those are what I've got (or at least I'm waiting for them to arrive).

BTW: Mastergrade are doing them on eBay for like $199 + shipping the set of 4.

[NEVERSTOP]

I got them from an Ebay auction... yea ebay newayz they where supposed to be 199 plus shipping but when I had them send it C.O.D. they messed up and sent it as if I had prepaid for it... hoping that I will get them for free... sometimes at work when I order stuff C.O.D. and they send it as its been prepaid I never have to pay for it so I hope that happens here but who knows.. they probably notice it and send me a bill

edit: Vphmc - there awesome for OEM size rotors! you will really like them

lol... it actually works everyonce and a while.. at work I orde everything COD and I get a shipment free about every 3 months or so... its nice when you get to bend them over everyonce and a while instead of the other way around... everything is SO overpriced its rediculous!

[Neipas09]

WERD!

[95STCelica]

i was gonna just make a new topic but i saw this and figured what the hell...is there a company that makes front brake rotors for a 95 ST? i have looked at tons of sites but havent been able to find any yet...what do you need to do this? The rotors and the brake pads correct??

[Neipas09]

Are you serious?
Go to Nopi.com and look at them.
Also go to ebay.
