Hi guys,
There have been a lot of threads about this however, mine is somehow unique so i wanted to create my own thread. I have an AE101 Corolla with a 3sge rev3 motor in it and converted to ST202 brakes. I recently purchased a complete ST205 superstrut front and rear brakes from a for dirt cheap and since this is my dream brake setup I'm willing to go through all the trouble just to fit it in.  A couple of things I need to put out here is that I'm from the Philippines so sourcing bits and parts may be a bit hard. Just for background here's how my suspension are coupled with everything just bolt in (no modifications done): Front: - ST202 JDM spec McPherson single pot caliper and rotor, knuckle and AE101 balljoints and brake lines Rear: - ST202 JDM spec rear single pot caliper and rotor and brake lines I cannot get a hold of a Cadillac Catera 2002 rotor. It's just not available in our country.  My questions: 1. To get the caliper bolted in, can i simply thread tap the knuckle and bolt it right in? 2. Will i need 3mm spacers? 3. Do i need to change brake lines? (If yes, that's fine as i would really like to get ss lines on them however, from what car?  Now for the rear i have no idea. If anyone has links that can help me. I have saved Culpable04's posts so i have that for reference however, if anyone else has any more info that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 6GC! |

QUOTE (mkernz22 @ Sep 23, 2015 - 9:42 PM)  It's not a spacer, it's a 0.9mm hub-centric ring. Any of the non-gt4 celica's have a 54.1mm hub bore on them, however, the GT4 has a 55mm hub bore. Why? no clue. So you need a 0.9mm ring to make the disk hub-centric. thats not what he was talking about. he was talking about the washers that go in between the caliper and the mounting hole This post has been edited by Tigawoods: Sep 24, 2015 - 3:28 PM --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Yes i was talking about the washers that go in between the caliper and mounting holes. Have not had the chance to install these yet but could well be in place by early November. |
