Hoses are different. ST has metal lines... GT has rubber lines. Any rubber toyota rear line from Camrys, Corollas, and Celicas with rear discs should work. All sliding calipers have some sort of brackets. The bracket is what the caliper "slides" on and is what gets bolted to the kunckle. Hopefully you didn't buy the caliper without the bracket... cause then you'd basically bought 1/2 the caliper... but yeah. I believe Camrys also used this came rear caliper... at least their brake pads are the same... so I would assume they are the same.

The ST uses a 2 piece set-up with the metal line going to an intermediate connector (attached to the strut) then to a connector on the body. The GT uses only one long line connected to the body to the caliper. There isn't an intermediate connection at the strut. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
