has anyone actually attempted to put the st205 (6th gen celica gt-4) on a US celica ST or Celica GT? i have an idea of whats involved in the conversion, iam just wondering if anyone has actually done it.

205 brakes on USDM Car (at200) - 6G Celicas Forums
The St205 brakes are completely different than the ST or GT, i dont think its possible.

I thought we covered all of this a few months ago on Celica.net... heh

the quick and dirty way is to use the ST205 suspension which requires a different steering rack (doh)

That question can probably be answered similar to the successful AWD conversion list which is nobody on here
i don't think it'll be that hard of a swap. A bracket will have to be fabricated to accomodate the bigger caliper. In other words, don't look for a direct bolt on, but with one bracket, it should all come together.
You might need different wheels aswell - the 205 calipers are huge - the range of wheels/spoke design that fits over them is fairly limited.
Might want to look into other options - how easy is it to source 205 calipers out there?

I haven't heard of anyone who's done it.
I really think you're wasting your time trying to get the 205 brakes. Just get the Brembo kit for the 7th gen. Its $2300 and it'll bolt right up. The brembo calipers are far superior to even the GT4 calipers.

okay, well ... i hate to mention this without pics, but someone did a successfull AWD/GT-4 conversion... he imports car parts from japan, and said he can get me the brakes and suspension for 1200. iam just on here to check if anyone else has done it.

well there was also an article in the general discussion about a successful AWD conversion but that person isn't on the website either so you might not find much help here about JDM conversions besides body and engines
