From my experiences, upgrading to a MUCH more capable set of brakes like the ST205 OEM setup couldn't be a bad thing at all. Single piston brakes simply don't stop you nearly as quick as a 4-piston when it counts, regardless of what brands you throw at them.

For street purposes, sure.....stock GT brakes with a stock 3S swap may suit you. But if you plan on pushing a Celica at all when its paired up with a powerful engine and great suspension, the weakest link in the setup with be the single pot OEM brakes and the limited surface area of the smaller rotors. My personal interests with my setup is for a daily-driven, fully track capable car with as few weaknesses as physically possible....not strictly grocery-getter status in which stock brakes would suit me just fine.

The STi and EVO are great examples of this type of configuration - a track ready car that excels in every aspect of performance, but still very streetable and reliable. They push more weight than a Celica, but the functionality of their brake setups, as well as the GT-Four's, for the purpose they were designed for is undeniable.


Slapping a grossly oversized brake kit for "bling" factor isn't what I'm endorsing. I'm endorsing the idea of using ST205 brake components to make a Celica stop the way it should when all other aspects of performance have been drasticly improved.


My opinions rest with myself (EDIT- and Kadett) on this one.
