hope that helps - been discused many times

do a search for brake kits

[shin]

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'.

[freakyre33c]

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

[Valo666]

hmmm..interesting..i would love 2 have some big brakes.
and yes..pics of 7th gen big brake conversion on a 6th gen would be good.

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

RCT,

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.

[celiracer]

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.

the brackets will work fine with any rotors. i suggest using 13 inch rotors since thats what i have and thats what they are spaced out for. as for the calipers, they won't work with other companies.

here is one thing that many people don't know. all big brake kits are universal. the only thing that you are paying for are the more detailed parts such as the mounting bracket, rotor hat (lug pattern), and brake lines.

all pads are universal when it comes to BB's when ordering pads from let say wilwood all they will ask for are how many piston calipers and what kinda caliper, in this case dynalites.

so my bracket will work with any 6 piston wilwood calipers. I will have to double check on the four piston calipers.

are you looking into getting big brakes? what is your budget if you dont mind me asking.

I can't afford a big brake kit at the moment. I have about 400 to throw around. I'm really looking for a set of calipers at the moment that i can use with my brembo disc which are the same size as oems. Its the bracket i need. I am not sure what the stock size of the rotors are, but I don't think your brackets will work with stock disc, since they space out the caliper for a bigger disc.

in my opinion for a 4 pot caliper the price is a bit high. is this a group buy or is it something that is made to order?

Well if anyone's interested contact the sale's department at Sales@Rotora.Com

that stinks since if i can get the 7th gen to fit they only cost 1300$

[madmods]

I think we can get away from the bigger disc unless your racing. I would not mind haveing a staggered 6 piston caliper in there. There only a bracket away. Rct, how much are you asking for the brackets?

[nightrider]

it has been said that 7th gen kits will work on 6th gen cars. however I contacted Brembo direct and they said it was not compatible. As yet we have never had a single photo to show these kits on any of our rides. So I do not think that these kits will work as the proof has not been forthcoming???????
