I do not think you can. The 7th gen rotors are bigger which mean the pads are bigger... You can try it, but I don't think some of the pad(7th) will be on the rotor.

ok this started out very confusing, but i think it is pretty much cleard up
my prob. now is that the brembro BB kit is for front only right and how much is it
i think it's expensive, but i may be thinkng of AEM

i want to know if the SSBC parts in the following link (mainly the 2piston w/13" rotors for front kit and the rear kit) will fit to my celica (95 st) without any other parts needed, if you do need other parts, what are they and are they expensive

ssbc

dangit, the link won't work so just put in the make model and year (i put 01, is this ok) and it will take you to the kits i am refering to

i persoanly think the bremo BB kit would be a stupiida idea for our car;.s unless you have a 3sgte swap pushing more then 350+ hp

how about using the ST185 calipers on a GT?

i have all 4 calipers from my clip and need to know what needs to be done to make them work with my car. the ST185 has dual piston calipers, and 5th gen guys claim its an easy swap for them.

switching to the 7th gen brakes or using brake kits designed for any other generation is not the best of ideas. You will throw off the the brake bias and probably even hinder braking performance.

[Jeremy1210]

if you did switch to another generation celica, I think that you would have to get an after-market brake adjustable proportioning valve or the one from the generation that you switched to. That is so the proper amount of fluid goes to the wheels correctly.

I think speedtoe told me about this when I was asking about this, and I also think that he bought an after market APV for his ST

ok so basiclly what all these comments lead to that a 7gc front brakes are able to be tranfered right on a 6gc correct because reading all the big brake kit thing confuse byt yeah thats all i have to ask so it would clear it up.... also i have searched on about if a 95 st rear disk drum can be converted in to brake disk and no luck but yeah answering my question would help alot thanks

I have been told by TRC that there is no compatibility between 7th and 6th gen rotors? Does anyone have model and manufacture part numbers or better still any pics!!! I would love to fit a NOS system but my brakes can just about stop me with my current mods. They would not have a chance with NOS on board.

[Coomer]

As far as I know, no-one has done this. Who's TRC? Do you mean TRD?

The rotors would be different, so you'd need to swap calipers too.

I cannot find a big brake kit that fits 100%, companies are stating that thier kits for 7th gen will not fit on 6th gen ST202 models?

[Consynx]

i'd PM speedtoe and see if he ever solved this riddle

That depends on what version ST202 you have. It will not work with the Super Strut versions, but will with the Macphearsons. As for companies, most tele reps don't know much about cars and such, so unless you're talking to one of the designers... they really can't tell you anything.

It's not much of a riddle... all that needs to fit is the caliper. The rotor, I'm positive will work. So long as the caliper bolts up, it's pretty much a done deal. I'm about 90% sure the 7th gens share the same knuckle pattern as the 6th gens.
