I know I've posted this before, and I know about the long thread about the compatible parts on the 6th gen. I read in the thread that the 7th gen calipers work on the GT as a bolt on. But my question is specifically about the GT convertible. The GT vert has ST tails, and I always have to say it's a GT convertible when I buy parts for it, so I'm not sure how much of the GT vert parts are compatible with the regular GT, or more specifically, I'm not sure if the GT vert calipers can be swapped with the 7th gen calipers/rotors or not. So considering some stuff on my GT vert is also ST (tails), do I have ST brakes or GT brakes?
Also someone told me that the GTS calipers on the 7th gen are different from the calipers on the 7th gen GT. Is this true? If so which one do I get calipers from? This post has been edited by match220: Jun 15, 2011 - 3:23 AM -------------------- -Jay

7th gen GT and GTS has slightly different calipers / disc. and either of them would work on your celica. it doesn't matter if its a vert, GT or ST, the brake will work regardless.

Hi, sorry to make you repeat yourself, but the OP's post was a bit jumbled and I came away scratching my head. Which 7th gen brakes do we put on the gt 6th gens? Is it a direct bolt on? How much of an upgrade is it? If I decide to buy some calipers I will post a "how-to" however simple it might be, just for reference purposes. |
