i found a near perfect 89 gts in the junk yard and it has rear disc brakes. the are 5x100 and I was just wondering if I could use these to do a swap on my 6 gen.
Thanks in advance

89 gts rear brakes - 6G Celicas Forums
if that's 5th gen, then yes. I used 92 GTS rear disks on mine and they're hardcore.
nope it was a forth gen but they look like they would work just don't want to buy them if I don't know more info
Well, i just bolted the whole housing onto my car. Take a look at it, do some measurements, and see if it'll fit.
I will do that cause they seem to be the same size and I believe they look like the same parts hell why not I will try it if it works then that will give us another soruce for rer disc brakes
sweet, test them out and report back with us. I see a bunch of older celica's in the junk yard. Maybe we can use the 5 lug 4th gen rear disk's

They should work just fine. I'm about 90% sure they'll bolt right up... the only issue might be the e-brake cables. I know that the calipers are 99% the same between 4th 5th and 6th gens. The 4th gens have a slightly different caliper bracket... but it's still technically the same thing.

In all likelyhood with a shared 5/100 hub setup, you could swap the backing plate (which holds the caliper bracket and e-brake assembly) using your current hub. Rotor would definately fit onto your existing hub, though I don't know about how your wheels would appreciate the new configuration.
Also consider swapping the rear proportioning valve.

I read somewhere the proportioning valves are the same. The difference is the brake lines, in which the drums used metal lines and the discs used rubber. Also, I don't reccomend getting the assembly in "parts". It'll just cause a massive headache. Be sure to get the entire spindle complete. Don't buy it in parts.

Agreed. I used the entire housing on mine. And like they said, get the e-brake cables and the regular brake lines.
