I've been reading about the braking stuff and many many swaps for the rear drums to discs, here I've found people who change the hole system and some others that found a way to do it without change a thing.
so my questions increase instead of be resolved, couple of days ago I take off the drums to a regular clean and start searching to see if its possible to just put some rear Rotor from a Celica that will fit right away in my hand brake system. some say about ST165 some others say ST185, and many others make a swap for a GT application. I know that if there a way to fit a rear rotor to the actual system I'll need to find a way to put the caliper brace and the caliper. so is there a way to do this, or if the GT rotor from 6th Gen will fit (i don't think so cuz it looks smaller). by the way my Celi is an AT200 Celica ST 1994 checking the web many people sell both front and rear rotors, can I use the front rotors from ST185 with my actual calipers ?

You don't have to change the prop valve, your brakes will still work fine if you don't. If you can source a prop valve from a GT, then go for it. Tons of people who've done this conversion, myself included, did not change the proportioning valve and aren't having any issues with braking.
