you mean the caliper??? the rotors are the same size as our gt's. Ok maybe the gt-s are 5mm larger in diameter.

Want to say 7th gen caliper is dual pot, where our's are single pot. Unless it was a ST202 or ST205, they were dual pot too I believe.

Got to looking at parts. Seems 7th gen Celica is single pot too. It's the MR2 Turbo that had dual pot calipers, along with the ST202 and ST205 if I recall correctly. I think I remember something on here about someone using MR2 Turbo calipers.

I see Ted got to that already, way to go Ted. thumbsup.gif

They make no difference, per Rusty and S8S8. Bit of a waste of cash unless your car is a track car.

Ive done my best with this car to keep the major parts from other usdm cars so if/when they need replaced i can just walk in to advance an say i need — part for —car
So the ss-iii calipers are out of the running
Ill probably just stick with the gt brakes an delete the abs if i cant get my brakes to work better after i bleed them again

ABS delete is fairly simple (from talking to others who have done it) just a few new brake lines along the firewall which can be ordered from toyota.

I am converting my car from ABS to no-ABS in the next month or so, I just got all the firewall lines from a parts car that didn't have ABS.

^^^^ get stainless steel braided lines. rebuild your calipers (depends on your car mileage??)

abs is awesome( keeps you from locking up brakes on sudden stops)

unless you track your car I'd say keep your abs??

I have the part numbers for the delete I'll check for them when I get home. I did it to my celi when i swapped in the 3s. It's a lot easier with the motor out but can be done with the motor in. Just need non-abs Lines and master cylinder.

To get ABS when you have a non-ABS setup, just get into the habit of pumping your brakes when you have to stop fast.
I swapped to non-ABS and when I do have to stop fast, my wheels don't lock up. It's fine in the rain as well, but just watch out for sand patches cause those are what will get you from time to time. Just make sure you have grippy tires that aren't almost bald and you'll be fine.

rolleyes.gif Who needs ABS.

Its called "threshold braking". thumbsup.gif

ABS is for the inexperienced drivers who panic and slam on the brakes as an initial reaction.

What's scary is driving a 50's or 60's car that weighs 5,000 pounds with manual drum brakes. Learn to bring that to a stop, and you'll be good in anything else. tongue.gif

i'm with playr158 on this one. a car with ABS will be able to keep each tire at their peak braking limits, even when the slip conditions per wheel vary between left/right and front/rear, especially during cornering where the inner wheels are most likely to slip first during braking.
one reason not to have it is to have that feeling of being "one with the machine" without any electronic driving assistance.

Well I want to add ABS at some point. The rear wheels lose traction alot faster than the front and ABS would balance that out.

TC bracket bolted right on.

almost the same size.


ST on top, TC on bottom


pads and bracket for ST on left, TC on right


new brakes.


The bracket for my ST brakes and the bracket for the TC had the same sliding pin rust and lock in place. I had to clean this out prior to fitting. Probably the cause for horrible brakes before.

Time for some TC brake upgrades (once I find the weakness in these)

The ST205 have four pot calipers and ventilated 315mm discs in front and two pot (floating) calipers in rear (also 315mm discs)

The ST205 brakes is really good actually.

the st205 brakes are the best brakes for our cars, however they arent cheap and are hard to find in the states.

All you guys who are deleting ABS are crazy. I have LS400 fronts, and I would love to have my ABS back (had a rear hub go out, and all I could score was a non-ABS unit). Please sell me the ABS hubs then so I don't have to spend $400 at Toyota.
