I don't know if they will work or not... I wonder if different celicas have different brake lines? |

There are slight differences but those might work. Our celicas have a 10mm banjo fitting on the calipers (for disks, ST and GT) and thats a pretty common fitting. Judging by the part number and the band on the lines those are actually Russell SS lines. Thats a pretty good price for them. I would email the seller and see if they carry other russell products. I believe russell has a 6th gen application in their catalog. The lengths might be different for the different years, so its probably better to get the intended lines. |

I went and looked around last night... go to www.nopionline.com
they have brake line kits for our cars, and the prices weren't that bad. The Brembo rotors are nice also.

Well I received an e-mail this afternoon from nopi telling me they can't get the brake lines anymore. So I think I might just get the GT ones and try them. Does anyone know of a reason they won't work. I thought the fittings are the same size?

out of curiosity, why do you want stainless lines? I think they just dont expand under pressure so your brakes dont have as much fade under hard driving. Are you going to auto X?

The GT rear lines will not work on the ST.
I tried to order some goodridge lines a while back and had the same result. Got them ordered, then they called me and said they couldn't get them. On my car I've gotten adapters (to go from the stock inverted flair fitting to a -3AN) and with those I can just buy generic stainless lines out of Pegasus. Its not cheaper, but parts are a lot more readily available. The lines are still $80. I don't know how much the adapters would be, probably 20 or 30. We just had them in our brake spares box.
