Price: $1780 plus shipping

The new Large Caliper front break kit is now available. It works on 5 nut wheeled 2000 + Celicas.
Some modifications will be necessary. You will need to have a hole widened and a rivet put in for a screw. Anyone with some mechanical experience can do ok.
This kit uses the breaks of the previous ST205 Celica GT4. This conversion kit converts your Celica front caliper to the 4 piston, 4 pot type and uses a much larger rotor,11.78 inches. And since the Trial kit utilizes stock Celica parts, the caliper has the Celica name on it. This circuit proven kit makes the Celica stop on the dime.
This kit is one of Trial's weapons in the circuit battle with Top Fuels turboed and juiced Honda Integra RS.

Don't they say left/right on each rotor? Or something along those lines?


Yeah, the Trial BBK is pretty sick, but I've had my heart set on TRD's kit for a while now. Too bad my wallet isn't in the same place my heart is.

I think there was a thread a month or so ago about the direction of the slots on rotors. I think the other people came to the conclusion that it depends on the manufacturer. I don't agree totally with that, because one direrction SHOULD work better than the other. But different manufacturers have different install instructions from what I remember

Hmm...I guess I'll take Eric's suggestion on this since we have the same brakes.

the slots on the rotors should "push" downwards with the forward rotation of the wheel, as in having the low point of the slot in front and the high end towards the left, just as in the pictures

For the TRD brakes they go the opposite direction of the Trial brakes as the veins on the inside are directional... the Trial brakes have the veins going the opposing way of the TRD brakes... it is vendor specific. The slits on the other hand are non directional and offer no benefit other than releasing gas and resurfacing through the slit. The veins are what truely cool the rotors...

Speaking of brakes, is there any company that makes ceramic rotors for our cars?
