A little help with ST brake swap - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #78528 3 posts Started by Lazurus
I am buying parts to beef up the suspension of my celica along with all the needed parts for a brake swap. My celica is an ST and the brakes are bleh. First off is a list of parts I am having trouble finding or want to make sure they arnt WAY cheaper somewhere else.

Rear backing plates- http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/ind...&siteid=840 (100ish)

Rear Brake Shoes- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Premium-Eme...=item45f9430703 ($30)

Hub and bearing assembly- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=330540723653 ($60ish each)
(Also summit racing said these were for the rear only, where can I find some for the front?)

Spindles (no clue) would prefer them to be new

Semi Loaded Brake Calipers (is there some that are better than others?) once again would prefer some not from a junkyard

I have spent alot of time trying to find all the parts and appreciate all the help from everyone along the way,

Thank you again,

Dan/Lazurus

i currently have gt brakes on the front of my coupe, havent done the rears yet but my car stops very well and ive ran her on the tail of the dragon and didnt have any brake issues.

all i did was ordered new rotors from rockauto.com along with axxis metal master pads

then i got the calipers from the loacal advance auto parts along with the brackets

reused my spindles and hubs (on the front it wouldnt hurt to get new bearings pressed in at this time), the backing plates i just bent to clear the gt rotor.

i can post pics if needed
