You'll need a custom caliper bracket and a custom rotor. ALSO... the ST205 and mkiv Supra do not use the same caliper. The Supra caliper is unique to that car, while the Celica caliper is also unique to that car (although very very similar to the 4x4 Toyota truck calipers). Neither one will "bolt-on" to 6th gen non-SuperStrut Celicas. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

If you want to improve your stopping power, i highly stand begind my new set up. I have an st so i upgraded both front and back to gt Rotors/calipers. Obviously you could skip this step if you have a gt. I got a set of steel braided brake lines from Russel. Also i upgraded to slotted Rotora rotors in the Front only. Hawk pads, and i also used a sythetic DOT 4 brake fluid opposed to DOT3. its just a little bit more but it has a higher boiling point than DOT3 and therefore if you are constantly aplying the brakes, it is less likely to boil and give you that sloppy peddal feel. Stops WAAAYYY better than before. I think the main ingrediant was the brake lines. the pedal feels way stiffer and the brakes respond a lot better. Good with it!
