Hi all,

Building a track day car from a 2.0ltr Celica GT (1991), i belive they call it a ST185 ?, question is the front calipers are single pot, can i fit 4 pot GT4 front calipers straight on it or do i need some spacers etc ?, anyone have any 4 pots for sale ?

Thanks

If it's the 2wd version it will be the ST182. ST185 is the GT4 version.

You should be able to put GT4 calipers on but I have a feeling spacers may be required. I'm not sure how the front suspension differed between the 182 and 185.

With the later spec Gen6 the front brakes are interchangable between the superstrut 2wd version and the GT4 (ST202 & 205).

Have a look on the Celica Club, there are often GT4s of all models being broken. http://www.celica-club.co.uk

ST185 brakes are crap anyway. most "crate" owners swap for subaru ones.

More importantly, why bother with the GT anyway - it's VERY heavy, underpowered, and already in a state of tune that makes it hard to modify. (although they do look really nice I'll admit!)

With ST205 prices being so low, just buy one of those. Much faster to start with (and easy to make go faster still with an ARB, EBC and decent seats). Seriously, with those mods your little £2k machine will outrun some very serious machines on the road and the track.
