Is there more pedal travel needed to push the twin pots? What size pistons are stock on the mr2 calipers?

technically i dont feel more travel, but my battery car died. forgot to measure the piston size..
When i have a chance i will measure.

So this is basically a direct bolt up to the GT front brakes, will it work for a ST?

so if people use the mr2 outers on the halfshafts and we now can use the sw20 2pots, can we take the wheel hub spindle and mate it with ours and redrill our rotors for a 5x114.3 bolt pattern???
DUN DUN Dunnnnn...........

if the gt front bakes fit the st with no problems then yes, cuz the twin pot bolted to my gt caliper bracket...

So If the pads are the same size as the ST185 GT-Four Twin Piston, 94+ MR2 Turbo and Celica then I'll want to buy a set of these twin piston calipers. I looked online and aftermarket performance brake pads are super expensive from japan. I'm talking about $250+ shipping minimum.

you have to buy pads for a celica gt. Remember the caliper bracket and disc are from the celica. I do not recommend any other pad, with that being said feel free to venture.
my discs are old, and already have a groove where the celica pads have been going. So putting the mr2 pads will only damage them right now, because there is a 2mm diff, with new discs, it might be different.
well the other side of the story are lexus es330 pads, i will post all pads for comparison.
lexus vs celica
celica vs mr2
go to the junkyard and collect pads, see which fit and which dont.

looks as if the mr2 ones will give you more contact area. I wonder how the st165 2 pot calipers will work if you take the caliper bracket off. I know its a direct fit on the at200 because I have it on there now off my old st165. we'll see this summer.

wait don't you have mr2 twin piston calipers on your celica. If so can you take measurements of the brake pads please!??

there are a lot of options from twin caliper setup all the way to 8 piston calipers, but I think the point of this was for a budget and user friendly upgrade, I don't think there is any other caliper upgrade easier than this, and as affordable as this.
great job Norberto !

Hey by the way, racecar spelled backwards is racecar
and to those that need measures, i have been really busy with work, and my car is under a cover under snow.. so, i will try to do it as soon as i can.

If you could measure the stock GT caliper pistons I would greatly appreciate it. I could make a write-up on brake bias for us 6th geners.

Will you be able to run the stock 15's on the Deuce's??? Cuz looking at your pics looks like you'd have to do 16's at the least.

so essentially 25.4mm pistons, both pistons? Thats doesnt seem right. Whats the OD of the piston? To get an accurate reading of the piston side you have the push the piston out of the caliper and measure it that way.
For example to st165 caliper piston diameter is 37mm. leading and trailing piston.
now with my set-up ls430 calipers all the way around with 315mm rotors front and back my brake bias will be 64%

Can you measure the stock celica caliper piston? Both front and rear caliper for me. Just wanted to see how big of an upgrade this is for the GT celicas.

will try tomorrow, the rear caliper most likely not tomorrow. its in the car. I get off work at 6 am and go back at 3, dont want to dissasemble.. lol

no no understandable. I would go out to my project car which is a GT but too cold and tired from working to much.

so by the looks of the pic the celica gt and mr2 twin turbo brake pads are different. Where did you buy the mr2 pads from are they oem or aftermarket?

If you could that would be nice ^...
You dont have to completely push it out just remove the boot and push it out a little because the OD is different on the cylinder itself. Do both front and rears for me so I can calculate the sock brake bias. Then we can go from there on upgraded brake parts for cheap.

I've found the specs of the calipers for the ST202's
The single piston caliper specs (SS-II):
Piston Diameter: 57mm
Piston Count: 1
Total Piston Area: 2551.76mm2 (25.5176cm2)
The twin piston caliper specs (SS-III):
Piston Diameter: 40.4mm
Piston Count: 2
Total Piston Area: 2563.79mm2 (25.6379cm2)
Basically they cover the same area, but you should get even distribution of pressure on the pads with the 2 pots.
and then compared to the MR2 calipers
Piston Diameter: 36mm
Piston Count: 2
Total Piston Area: 2035.75mm2 (20.3575cm2)

Damn so the brake bias gets shifted to the back that's no dice at the track. Although it will take less effort to lock the front up.

dang, so basically its a non-upgrade... LOL. well i love the looks of 2 pistons...
But then again, its upgrade to the MR2, imagine that... anyways... I still love them..

The specs that Rusty posted, the single piston caliper is different from the USDM caliper, isn't it? I would still think that the MR2 caliper would be an upgrade from the single-piston stock caliper.
