IDB Automotive do a 2 or 4 piston kit that will bolt on. I had the 4 piston kit on my Corona wagon and the braking power was very strong.

They are in Melbourne, I don't know their web address sorry. What type of 4 pot caliper do they use in their conversion, and what sort of dollars are we talking?

IDB uses RX7 S4/5 calipers, they cost me $1200 about 4 or more years ago, i'm not sure what they are worth now.

I can confirm RA60 brakes bolt on; I was watching when a friend did it! We were both surprised it was that easy, but it is.

does that mean, that if people have done the front brakes on there celicas, that they can do this conversion aswell??? coz that would be awsome stopping power for a 3tg-teu dont ya think?
