There is a cheap junk yard locally, and they just got a 5th gen celica. The celica has rear disc and i'd like to do that on my 6gc.. is that possible? Oh, and the 5th gen also has a front strut bar, will that fit my 6gc?


Thank you.

I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(

for the rear disc set up you can do it, i guess there is a post some where here or celica tech.

just need a research of what you need, but no worries it can be done....

for the strut bar not sure if it will fit

strut bar will fit but you will have to round out the holes

whats that supposed to mean?

Looks like it's talking about the hole in the center of the disc where the hub itself protrudes through. You could feasibly have that opened up at a machine shop though.

that means that the rotors from 5 gen is different than the 6 gen, so you better change all the hub system, use the entire 5 gen rear system for the brakes, so at the end you'll have 5 gen system on the back and 6 gen on the front
