There is a cheap junk yard locally, and they just got a 5th gen celica. The celica has rear disc and i'd like to do that on my 6gc.. is that possible? Oh, and the 5th gen also has a front strut bar, will that fit my 6gc?
Thank you. This post has been edited by Superaison: Jul 10, 2009 - 9:07 AM -------------------- I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(

Alrighty, well, I read in a how to here that;
QUOTE The parking brake on a 6th gen. GT with discs in back doesn't use the caliper to stop, it uses an internal drum brake. Fifth generation Celicas use a similar setup, but beware that they use a smaller center bore, so fifth gen. GT rotors cannot fit on a sixth gen. hub. whats that supposed to mean? -------------------- I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole.
