Caliper bracket for what brakes? 4 piston calipers or just a slight upgrade?

Biggest setup ive done that could be fitted to a 1st gen celica is 343x32mm rotors and Brembo 4 pistons but you could go bigger if you wanted to.

Cheers

Just a slight upgrade. Probably using these disks... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOT...Q5fAccessories
I dont want to do anything to out there, is there an easier upgrade?

Those discs are just an OEM Replacement rotor, RA29 replacements by the looks of it. They won't be much use for an upgrade as they won't give an increase in disc diameter or width.

One of the easiest upgrades is the Corona/PUG/Hilux upgrade.

If you want to stick with a moderately standard rotor, albeit one that is slotted etc, anything more than the C/P/H upgrade seems like overkill?

hey linden can you do a setup for r33 296mm rotors and calipers on MS65 hubs and XT130 corona struts for a RA28 celica?

Miles,

Already done it.

PM me for details

Corona 2-pots are a good compromise, and are a direct swap (whole strut) into an ra23....there really is no reason to use a bracket for a caliper unless your making a bigger disc.....
