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.

I don't think the BRZ/FR-S rotors are bolt-on rotors... the total width of the front rotors is much wider than the celica rotors, i.e. the hats are much wider. Also the center bore is 3mm larger than the stockers, at 58mm iirc, so I'd figure they wouldn't fit. Sure they're 5x100 and have about 20mm more diameter to them, (274mm vs 292mm iirc) but it'd be great IF they fit. I don't think anyone has tried them yet.
I don't mind the weight of the 4runner calipers, it's a lot more than the GT4 calipers but it's sprung weight, the calipers don't spin. Also, the 4runner calipers run for $150 for a loaded pair from autozone with lifetime warranty... GT4 calipers are like $300 for just the fronts and in usually "in need of rebuild" condition.
