Calipers or disks (or both) on their own won't fit an st202/st203/st204. Your st204 probably has MacPherson strut system, the GT4 has SuperStrut suspension system. A few owners have replaced the whole strut system on st202/st203/st204 with the GT4 strut system (plus SuperStrut was an option in some countries) but replacement components are more expensive for SuperStrut. You may want to look into a big brakes conversion instead. Use the search engine on this site to find relevant posts about that.
