GT-Four brakes, with pics *updated Options

[Batman722]

first I bought these, st205 calipers, rotors, lines.



then to make them bolt on, I shaved off a few mm from the mounting points





remove old pads and hardware and give a quick paint job





then got new pads, shim kit, pins, ect



and installed in the calipers



next step is
1. getting the 205 rotors trimmed from 315mm to 298mm
2. getting spacers, either 10mm or 15mm (I need to test/measure, then install them)
3. bolt on (I'm not sure if I'm gonna tap my hub or use nuts/bolts), bleed lines, drive

I'll update as I get things done.

Amazing info. How hard is that caliper trimming?

awesome supra tt pads right ?

[manphibian]

What lovely painting

[BoostedGT]

You interested in Drilled n slotted brembo rotors?
PM me if you are..off a 94 celica GT

yes, supra TT pads, I'll post up all the part #s later.

no I don't want GT rotors for GT-Four brakes because they don't fit, I already have GT-Four rotors.

dont trim them down
they'll fit perfectly at 315 mm

they don't on my car.

ordering spacers tonight and probably going to get the rotors trimmed Wednesday.

...nice freakin parts you got there man

they hit the ball joint sideways, the diameter has nothing to do with them clearing the balljoints. you have to play with the offset of the disc to push them away from them, but every car is different I guess, so I'm sure you'll make them work on yours.

[Batman722]

the 205 rotors clear my balljoint just fine, at least 3-5 mm. The only prob I have is the caliper sits on top of the rotor and one caliper bolt goes in, the other didn't.

hmm, that's odd, I didn't run into that at all, and the 3-5 mm clearance on the balljoint is an issue, once the car is on the ground and you turn the wheel, the suspension will flex enough to allow contact.

I'll take pictures of my hub / ST205 disc bolted together, I can't see why yours wouldn't, unless ST and GT hubs are slightly different after all.

bump!
so were are those pictures?

[Culpable04]

sorry been busy with other stuff on my plate, I'll see if I can get them tomorrow

[CelicaSTX02]

Looks awesome dude! Any updates?

[schmooot]

where did you get your pads from mang?

[Batman722]

the dealer.

I need to get off my butt and get this going...

[Ted95]

thats pretty sweet dustin, they look cool!

[OOBE]

Sweet, man. I'm got my calipers and rotors from Jim (thanks for the trade, big guy ) and I need to buy that pin and shim kit with the pads. I'm getting my calipers powdercoated in candy red with clear. Should look sweet.

Reducing the diameter of rotors u'll reduce the braking torque...Why upgrade callipers only? The biggest part is given by the diameter...using the same pieces u'll have only a little advantage...
