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 ?

1994 ST Celica --> no swap --> 7A rebuild
1974 Mustang --> Almost Restored

When you get your GT brake assembly, you should also get with it the emergency (hand brake) brake assembly. The brake shoes for the emergency brake go inside the rotors - the rotors for the rear brakes of a GT are designed with a center "drum" for exactly this purpose.

The reason you will need the emergency brake assembly from the GT car is because they fit inside the rotor hub differently than the ST ones fit inside the stock drums. You will also need the cables that run from the emergency brake shoe assembly to the cable that comes off of the brake lever underneath the car.
