4runner brakes on gt celicas, big upgrate and not expensive! Options

[diegohiga]

I was doing a reserch and apparently 4runner brakes with 4 pistons (non sport) version fits on a gt front rotors, And the sport version fits gt4 rotors. I think the brakes have to come off from a 95-02 3rd gen 4runners and will bolt on perfectly with no modifications.
Now my question is if they fit proportional valve needs to be modified? Becsuse it will be pusshing 4 pistons instead of 1.
If anyone has more info about this please post it here.

qatar will always have a different point of view than most here, because he focus his approach purely on functionality ( which is a great thing ) but I think instead of criticizing and putting down the humble efforts of an upgrade from fellow members who are not as experience as you in proper car modifications, you should instruct and pass on your acknowledge, that how we'll grow and get better as a community.

I agree with everything you have said, and I have been looking for a safe area where I can tune my brake proportioning valve ( not installed yet ) also to help keep brake bias as intended by Toyota I'm installing GT4 brake disc as well, along with stock gt4 brake proportioning valve ( installed already )

as soon as I find a safe environment where I can safely tune my brake proportioning valve I will tune my brake system to maximize braking force while staying on the safe side of things.

we can only try to guide others on how to do things properly, there will always be someone who will blow his engine, mess his brakes, create sparks while dragging the frame because he lowered the car too much, break his back due to cheap racing seats etc etc, we should warn members of unsafe WAYS of mod'ing a car, not tell them to completely stop modifying, there are always ways of properly doing things and that's what we should pursuit.

let's all be friends again and correct each other on our mistakes and pull all in the same direction of proper development.

I'm with qatar on that perspective as well. Function. Ya I did criticize as well without properly explaining myself.

You said getting the proportioning valve from a gt4, but how about the brake master cylinder. is that necessary also. How would you maximize braking efficiency with a stock proportioning valve. Which one of the two is based off the weight of the vehicle????
