Anyone knows if any front Big Brake Kit (calipers, rotors) will fit Celica GTS with NO modifications to do?
I see many webshops with BBK for SCION TC (in stock), so i would like to know if i can buy one of that kit (wilwood, ap, or so..) and fit it BOLT-ON on my celica.
Do they have same mounting adapters for the calipers and same rotors?
Has anyone done that before?
Thanks

so long as the dimensions work and the bolt patterns match. There's a good chance since the TC rims fit the celi. A few people on here may hassle you about using parts that weren't designed for your car, but they're clueless morons. One of the first mods old beetle guys do their bugs is swap out the stock caliper for a porsche unit. It fits and provides excellent stopping power, even on the stock rotor. I've also seen a good load of old muscle cars fitting Z06 brake setups in place of their rear drums. I don't know of anyone putting TC brakes on a celica, so it's a matter of trial-and-error at this point. from the way you worded your post, i'd suggest against it, though, since you seem like you don't want much of a hassle.

ROTORA sales dep. says that the 2 kit are the same... now I suppose it should work :shrugs:
Hey post more pics of your Celica. I wanna see more angles of that lip spoiler you've got.

ROTORA! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
I'd highly suggest going with another brand though. I see you're from Italy, why not support Brembo? They're Italian.

1. No, it won't fit.
2. Big Brake Kits (big rotor caliper move-out kits) are retarded. They won't stop you any faster, the move-out bracket can be a point of failure and they'll screw with your ABS. They're just rice.

You'll need at least a 17" rim.
I figured I would point that out. The site is burdened with trigger-happy nay-sayers who are always willing to shoot you down but never provide an explanation.

Because it's always the same story. We explain, people continue to be ignorant. So why not save the time to type out an extra 3 sentences and just say "you suck at life". Much easier that way.

- I'm not going to buy Rotora (I'm thinking about AP or Willwood). I just asked them if the kit is the same, because I found a willwood Scion TC Kit so I want to know if that works
- Rice? I race, so i need brakes (CALIPERS, rotors and so on..), with stok brakes I do less than 300 miles of track..
- obviously I've 17" Ultraleggera rims
