GT-Four brakes - 6G Celicas Forums
did u use any spacers or brackets
Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
ok to recap
I bought a set of calipers and rotors.
I bought new pads and the fit kit from toyota (supra pads/kit).
I shaved off a few mm from the mounting points on the calipers so they would be centered with the gt-four rotors.
Painted the calipers up nice and shiny.
I finally had the rotors trimmed to 300mm.
installing
Removed the old brakes and drilled out the holes on the hubs from the stock calipers.
The stock calipers bolt on the rotor (outer) side of the hub. The GT-Four calipers bolt onto the engine (inner) side of the hubs.
I used a M14-1.5 tap and bought stainless steel bolts (so they won't rust) to match (M14-1.5 x 25mm). The tap and bolts I used are a little big, I could of went with smaller ones but didn't.
I drilled out the hub holes to accept the bigger bolts and tapped them.
I widened the holes on the calipers so the new bolt would slide through.
The bolts now go through the calipers and thread into the hubs, as opposed to the stock calipers going through the hub and threading into the calipers.
Bolted them on, bled the lines, now I have GT-Four brakes up front.
some notes, I have ss braided lines but they looked a bit short, I'll probably pick up new longer ones soon, JIC.
My wheels don't have a great offset so I installed 10mm spacers (front and rear) for clearance up front.
They wouldn't have fit without them with my wheels.
For giggles I tried one of Stef's wheels (enkei rs5s IIRC) and they didn't need any spacers, they have a great offset, they cleared the calipers just fine.
I'm just waiting for my bumper to get back from paint then I can actually drive my car again.
I also used some touch up paint (same as my car color) and painted the "celica" logo.

I've done this conversion on my JDM SS-I and it is such a pain in the ass! The increased braking power is great but the grief to get the front and rear brakes fitted...
Rear GT4 discs/calipers fitted.
Fronts fitted - how little clearance between caliper and wheel??
I (like everyone else, it seems) had to machine the discs down to 300mm. But they're still catching the lower balljoint, sadly.

Hey, so here's a question. Is it possible to use GT rotors with 2mm spacers on each sides of the pads? Or is there another fitment issue?
