Do you have rear disc brakes? What exactly are you trying to do?

do you want to put the GT disk brakes on the ST celica ? it's easy to do if you have the GT for spares.

I could have sworn EURO spec Celica ST's came with factory rear discs...
Anyway, the fronts are interchangeable ONLY between MacPhearson strut models. You basically swap over the calipers with brackets, and the rotor. Done. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Are the euro spec GT rotors or calipers bigger? Are they dual piston? What makes them 'better'?
