have you guys even looked at the price of new GT-4 brake disks?
theyre REDICULUSLY expensive.
not worth the work IMO.

Have you ever driven or ride along with someone who has them on a ST/GT? Guess not, I did with SveNRG (AT200 3rd gen swap+ SS+GT4 front brakes). Its a MASSIVE improvement over stock.

Its the closest thing you can get as a 'Big Brake Kit'. If you already have the calipers then I would say go for the install and get the rotors.

But I dont know what you would call expensive. They cost around 150 euro per side. Dont think its that expensive.

Unless you race the car everyday... it's really just a VISUAL modification. Who cares if the car has awesome brakes when all you use it for is stop/go traffic and driving around town? I bet I'll stop the same as you in traffic from 50mph to 20mph...

I think thats generalizing things quite a bit, Kwanza. I don't think that too many of us with swaps or turbo just putt around town like a grandma. At least I don't anyway.

With my 3rd gen 3SGTE, as well as any Celica with a significant power upgrade , you can feel that the brakes are at the threshold of their effectiveness. I have IRotors D/S on all four corners with Hawk autocross compound brake pads, and they still just BARELY cut it as far as I'm concerned.

If you look at the balance of a swapped USDM Celica compared to a factory tuned configuration like a STi or Evo, the Celica needs a great suspension tune, sticky tires, and more powerful brakes to have the same sort of balance that those cars achieve. With comparable thrust to both, a swapped Celica just won't stop like it should when it only has single-piston calipers from the factory.


It awesome to see some answers regarding using the ST205 brakes....thats really good knowledge for anybody who wants to make their car really stop well.
