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. smile.gif

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. frown.gif

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? rolleyes.gif

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 a 14% upgrade if you get the Avalon/Camry/ES300 twin piston calipers. They are direct bolt on to your ST202 brake bracket

I didn't even think the camry would have a twin piston caliber! I'm really going to start looking into these now. do you know if its just the 90's Avalon/Camry/ES300 twin piston or the early 2000's will also work? thanks for all your help with celica's bonzai. i don't think i would have been able to do have the stuff on my celica if it wasn't for you (and batman of course)
