Avalon Caliper Upgrade? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #90924 21 posts Started by 1994Celica
I heard we can use Avalon calipers and they bolt right up. Is this true and will the Celica pads work with the calipers?

Yes sir I can assure you it bolts up I have them on my car I even used stock caliper bracket on the calipers I got from abalone everything else is stock from my Celica gt
Is this an upgrade from the stock brakes? Or is it the same caliper set up, just another option in sourcing parts?

It's an upgrade but honestly u won't feel much braking difference especially if I have ABS also most difference is when u brake at really high speed ur car won't shake like most stock gt do thanks to single position uneven worn pads and dics
What are the years of Avalon caliper that we can use?
97 Avalon. Used the same pads and rotors as our car too. Doing this come spring.

is it just 97 Avalon or is it 97 and up Avalon. Does it have to be from an Avalon with abs or without
97 body style. So any of that same style. I believe it goes 95 - 99. Idk. I just picked a year and looked at part numbers and I can guarantee 97 is one if the years. ABS doesn't matter on toyotas from that generation for pad differences. All 6gc's take the same pad and rotor regardless of ABS.

Are reman calipers alright or is it better to get oem from a junkyard.
Reman are OEM castings with replaced internals. That's what reman means. So you're buying the same thing that was on your car from the factory usually.

Just want to be sure that these are a 100% direct swap
Its 110% direct bolt on swap
Also 94-97 camry v6 with abs caliphate a direct bolt on and may be cheaper than the Avalon depending on where you go

I went to rockauto and compared brake pad part numbers and they did not match.
So I am guessing the only upgrade to this is that the Avalon calipers are two pot compared to the GT which is one?
