RCTCELICA can get it for you if you want it. $2000 for wilwood big brake kit. i took pics of it the last time.

i'm working on confirming the 7th gen celica rumors since it hasn't been proven yet give me a week or so and i'll have some solid answers

[freakyre33c]

i don't think the 7th gen. rear brakes will work, cause of the emergency brake system is different i believe, ours work from the inside of the disk, i think theres is differen't, so u wouldn't beable to put the rear together because the e-brake won't be able to ride on anyhting and it obiously won't work

[playr158]

its 7th gen front only there is no replacement for the rear

[celica3sgte]

7th gen for the front works. There is a place in Oregon that makes a rear for our car. An engineering/brake company. The parking brake needs to be modified for it to work. I guess I'll let you know about that in a by the end of 06'.

well, i have a idea now, the rally team must of used some kind of big brake kit, so i wonder what they might of used, im sure it was probably just a custom thing from toyota, or is the gt-4 e brake diff then 2wd? idk im just trying to think of things

[playr158]

GT4 is different then the GT/ST
different suspension in general

and can we get some PICTURE PROOF of the 7th gen front working?

[RCTCelica]

here are my custom big brakes made to bolt onto 6 gen celicas

RCT,
question for you, do the calipers need a bracket to space them out for the bigger rotor?

yes, the kit comes with custom calipers. i designed this kit so it is a complete bolt on. the only modification that you need to do is to remove the dust sheild due to the bigger rotor. the dust shield needs to be removed with all big brake kits.

Thanks for the answer, but I'm still confused. I know the kit comes with calipers. Does the caliper bolt on
straight to the oem fittings or is there a bracket/spacer that bolts on there, and then you bolt the caliper to this bracket/spacer.

the brackets bolts onto the original stock caliper holes of the car, in which the caliper will bolt onto the custom bracket. the reason for the custom bracket is so it may act as an extension being that the rotors are bigger.

Thank you, now my next question is will the caliper bolt on the caliper holes of the car, assuming your going to use the stock discs? Or is the offset different?

[RCTCelica]

the wilwood caliper will not bolt up to the factory holes. this is because the caliper is much bigger in width length and girth.

the bracket where the factory holes line up to are much closer together than the side where the wilwood caliper will line up to.

Ok, well then what do you do to get the whole kit to fit onto the celica?

[RCTCelica]

the kit comes with all the necessary nuts and bolts.

-remove current brake set up
-remove dust sheilds
-bolt on custom bracket onto original caliper mounting holes
-slide in rotor
-bolt on caliper to the custom bracket (install pads first)
-install steel brake lines
-bleed brakes

RCTCelica,
Are you machining this bracket yourself? Lets say, I get a set of brembo calipers off ebay off a subaru or porsche. Would you be able to make custom brackets for the calipers? Im using brembo disc, but their the same size as oem.
