    Default SW20 front brake calipers

    Does anyone know if the front brake calipers on an SW20 MR2 have the same mounting bolt spacing as the Celica, or are they the same as the Supra/Soarer, etc?

    My convoluted answer is that I know ST165 and ST185 GT4 calipers bolt onto an AW11 MR2, SW20 ones do not so my conclusion is that the SW20 are not the same as celica mounting and I guess could be the same as Supra...

    And yet neither of you has answered my question

    Maybe I should've worded the question the other way round, with the Supra/Soarer at the beginning...

    I don't have access to an SW20, so if someone does, & could kindly measure the bolt spacing, that'd be appreciated.

    What can I say...AW11 on the brain

    My guess is that SW20 and supra/soarer are not compatable otherwise you would hear lots of SW20 owners scrambling to get Supra 4 pots to upgrade their brakes but I have not heard of this.

    Still doesn't answer your question though .

    are the caliper mounting bolts in difference spacing for those models, or the same?
    If they are different, & you know what they are, please post them up.

    I'm starting to suspect that the SW20 is a bit unique. The larger Toyota stud pattern (ie 5 x 114.5) on a mid size Toyota where normally it would be 5x100.
    Its not like Toyota don't think this way sometimes.

    st202/5 is 130mm
    ra60...derived from r33 fitting it is 100mm
    draven should be able to quickly measure what is left of his a80 supra (i would do the z30 but it's dark and i am afraid of the dark), possibly cambelt1 can also (was selling a pair of 2 spot a80 ones)
    and if hybrid still has his wheels off of his a70, he can take a quick measure of them for you, then that should be all of the models
