oh okay, didn't know there were so many models.
i *thought* the gt-t was the "st205 follow on" as in the st215
but any info on either of the brake systems for the awd turbo 3sgte's would be helpfull.
i would have thought they would have been the same, but if anyone can tell me otherwise, be my guest.
Stu - i dont want you goin to too much trouble, just really interested in a quick answer 
thanks guys,
-Matt

no worries, i've seen some ST215 GT-T's around here, but have yet to see a GT 245/6 as yet (and i want that one  )... i'll get a snap if one is in a car park there has to be ONE on my walk to work each day (surely )
ps, can you find the disc specs anywhere? DBA may be no hellp, but surely there are some jap aftermarket discs that have specs around?

I am looking at the Suitability of the GT-T Caldina Brakes as an upgrade for a st162 celica. As i may have access to a set off a frontcut in the near future, and i am wondering, what type of calipers? twin piston, twin spot, what size of the rotors?
I have been looking, and found no joy... maybe im lookin in the wrong places?
