st to gt front brakes, need help Options

[Joe_1985]

ok so i ordered everything from rock auto for a 94 celica gt brake wise and so i set off to assemble everything and the caliper brackets dont line up with the bolt holes on the st spindles at all

i got all gt stuff because the brakes are bigger and the price differnce was only 15 dollars or so, plus my front brakes are on there last leg anyway

do i have to get spindles for a gt to bolt this stuff up or was i sent the wrong semi loaded calipers?

and please no just get a gt comments, i have a turbo rwd celica if i want to do go fast

can u send me a backside and front pic of your gt front brakes

also did you use gt hubs?

I did not use GT hubs, they bolted right to my ST hubs w/ no problems.
You need the calipers (painted red), brackets (painted black), brake pads, shims, and rotors. I'm really not 100% sure if you need the brake lines since I installed ss lines at the same time but I'm like 95% sure you can use the ST rubber lines.
I do not have a picture of the back side where it mounts to the hub, I just have a picture of the front and the calipers/brackets before they were installed.





this was to show how the fit kit goes in, I have a few more pics of them on the table before installation but I'm not sure if those will help you at all, I would have to upload them from my home comp later anyway.



If you are worried about brake performance the fronts wont make that much of a difference, the rear drum to disc conversion will make a bigger difference in brake performance. I did the rear disc conversion for brake performance and the fronts just for aesthetics cause the ST fronts looked like the same size as the GT rears which looked strange to me.

Before... ST fronts, GT rears


After... GT front and rear
