I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully mounted these calipers, i read it on one of the threads but i didn't find out if they finished it. i bought a set of calipers and lined them to my knuckle but the bolt holes don't line up 100% it looks like i would have to drill the hole a bit more and thread the knuckle. aside from that the 4runner calipers wont accept a rotor over 21mm according to the specs. i want to know if any one actually mounted those on a 6thgen or it's just speculation. i have already tried a vw rotor but no dice. i'm going to try a 04 sti rotor which is 5/100 and it looks it will sit the rotor further back in and might work with the caliper. i want to know if it's necessary to trim the caliper mounting points.

Wow this is such a viable option, why did I not know this before? These calipers are about 65$ rebuilt from raybestos, so it'd be $130 for both plus a set of pads, which should be about $50 more... given that you can use the same stock rotors, this is awesome.
However the upgrade would only be in the caliper itself and as far as I understand, the upgrade to GT4 brakes requires GT4 rotors which are bigger than GT rotors. Isn't there a possibility of getting bigger rotors on there with these calipers? EDIT: Is it basically this that has to be done in order for them to fit? If it is, then it's a damn good investment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_UQ2kQMmLQ This post has been edited by Syaoran: Mar 24, 2014 - 8:37 PM -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
