ST205 Brakes Upgrade Options

[Kiolofunk]

Hi guys,

There have been a lot of threads about this however, mine is somehow unique so i wanted to create my own thread. I have an AE101 Corolla with a 3sge rev3 motor in it and converted to ST202 brakes. I recently purchased a complete ST205 superstrut front and rear brakes from a for dirt cheap and since this is my dream brake setup I'm willing to go through all the trouble just to fit it in.

A couple of things I need to put out here is that I'm from the Philippines so sourcing bits and parts may be a bit hard.

Just for background here's how my suspension are coupled with everything just bolt in (no modifications done):
Front:
- ST202 JDM spec McPherson single pot caliper and rotor, knuckle and AE101 balljoints and brake lines
Rear:
- ST202 JDM spec rear single pot caliper and rotor and brake lines

I cannot get a hold of a Cadillac Catera 2002 rotor. It's just not available in our country.

My questions:
1. To get the caliper bolted in, can i simply thread tap the knuckle and bolt it right in?
2. Will i need 3mm spacers?
3. Do i need to change brake lines? (If yes, that's fine as i would really like to get ss lines on them however, from what car?

Now for the rear i have no idea. If anyone has links that can help me. I have saved Culpable04's posts so i have that for reference however, if anyone else has any more info that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks 6GC!

It's not a spacer, it's a 0.9mm hub-centric ring.

Any of the non-gt4 celica's have a 54.1mm hub bore on them, however, the GT4 has a 55mm hub bore. Why? no clue.
So you need a 0.9mm ring to make the disk hub-centric.

thats not what he was talking about. he was talking about the washers that go in between the caliper and the mounting hole
