    Default What Calipers will fit AE101 GT-Z (4AGZE)

    I have got a AE101 shell that contained a 4AGZE engine and I now have an engine to go back in there but have no brake calipers. Does anyone know if the calipers fitted were used in other models or if some other Toyota calipers will bolt right on.

    This will make my search much easier for the calipers.

    Thanks in advance

    Some other's may be able to give you direct replacement lists, but the best way would be to take some measurements & compare with other Toyotas

    The 3 points of interest:
    centre point of axle
    centre points of the bolt holes that secure the caliper to the hub/steering knuckle.

    Measure between all three so you end up with a triangle.
    Find similar size toyota wrecks at the wrekcers/breakers and measure up.
    Even Celica/Carina E may be able to fit if you have brake rotor redrilled for 4 stud instead of 5 for a cheap brake upgrade.(check the measurements including caliper offset first).

    There is a good thread both on here and on Twincam.info about AE9x,AE1xx brake upgrade options.

    Guys thanks for the replies, i have been busy with some other stuff and now time to get back to the car. I am already aware of the thread on twincam.org and brake upgrades. I havent got the time at the moment to take measurements and get down to breakers to look at what would fit and look at machining bits to make them match up.

    Basically i want to just get the engine dropped into the shell get the brakes on and away.

    I guess what i need is the twin pot calipers that came off it in the first place but as this is a GTZ would they fit from the 20 valve superstrut equivalent?

    Worst case would be looking at the single pot calipers but as I am in the UK i would look to see if the AE92 later spec calipers would fit as these would be easier to source. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
