finally got around to putting the new brake pads on the 4 corners.. and shes is stopping on a dime again.. but damn if the rear right caliper didn't rust lock... had to use the impact gun and sand it down and put some greas on the pistons and bolts to keep the rust from coming back.. i'll post some pics tomorrow ... i sure do push celicas to there limits on suspension and braking..

I'm glad to hear that it was just rust. I hate it when a caliper ceases up. Is the braking on your new car a whole lot better than your old celica?

What pads did you get? ST Front and GT front pads are the same as far as I remember right?

Or is it cuz the GT has Disk Brakes all around and ST has drum rear brakes?
