7th gen brake system !, pics are up ! Options

[Culpable04]

I ordered a pair of 7th gen front calipers and today finally took the time to test fit one of them, the brake line is exactly the same, the brake bolts into the same exact location, but the bolts on the GTS are longer so we have to use the bolts from the ST, obviously we need the rotors and pads from the 7th gen ( just in case someone dare to ask ) .

I know that there have been a lot of discussions about this, and they all said that they fit but no one tried it, so just in case someone else is wondering if they fit, YES they do,

I'll take pictures when I get everything ( rotors, brake lines, pads ) to show the fitment.

I ordered EBC slotted rotors, green stuff brake pads, SS brake lines and motul brake fluid. looking at one or two week to install everything.


if you want any specific pictures, let me know so I'll take them during installation.

So the 7th gen gts brakes are actually bigger than the 6th gen GT's?

I think they are the same diameter. 6th gen GT's are 275mm in diameter according to brembo, and 7th gens are listed at 10.82 inches which is roughly 274.9mm... basically 275mm. The thickness of the rotor however might not be the same... along with the center hub bores. Part numbers are different between the two rotors, so they are more than likely different beyond the rotor diameter. Also note, the Scion tC, Matrix/Vibe, Corolla XRS, and a few other models share the same basic front brake systems as the 7th gen Celica.
