I was at Toyota Heaven (local toyota only salvage) the other day and discovered something interesting.......

Toyota Heaven happened to have a 2001 Celica GT in their yard. For the hell of it I did some snooping around and comparing. My first thought was that maybe we could use their spindles so that we could get their brakes but alas, no dice there. The closer I looked the more amazed I was....the caliper mountings are exactly the same. 7th gen brakes will interchange with the 6th gen perfectly. All 2001+ celicas came with 10.8" vented rotors. A decent junkyard upgrade for us! I'll be ordering some reman calipers and slotted rotors soon.

Whats even more exciting is that the above means that any 7th gen big brake kit will work on the 6th gen. This includes the Brembo GT system and several others. So there you have it. Mod away.
