Bigger Calipers and Disc - AE92 Seca

Has anyone changed the calipers of there corolla to bigger sizes, and done any conversion. I can't give any examples as, well i'm stumped as to what caliper would fit, let alone a whole new hub setup.
Or do people just keep the 4 calipers all around and upgrade disc size (slot, drill..etc) and use better pads.
Also has anyone done a conversion to 5 stud pattern.
DBA Australia only offer upgrade disc, and NO japanese aftermarket kit is availble for bigger brakes, or discs for this model. Unless the AE111 is the same setup.
You drift guys must upgrade your 86's brake setup? what do you guys do?

go the ae92 SX series 2 brakes, these are the bigger 258mm diameter rotors. they are also off teh GTZ levin with the 4agze.
I'm looking at this convo for my ae82.
from everything i have read this is a bolt on replacement
if u look in the thread ae82 more brake boost there is a link to a page on twincam16.org forums with a very good article about what options you have and how to do it for ae92's and ae82s
Cheers mate

I'm already running the series 2 brake calipers and disc, but i want something a little more flashy and better,
For example.
Integra Type R - Brembo's all round,
Toyota Supra - Nothing more needs to be said
350Z - Brembo's
Evo Lancers - Brembo's
HSV's or is it Ford - AP Racing.
As you can see, i want something like them, talk the talk, walk the walk.
Anyone want to donate me some 4pot ENDLESS calipers, or even the GReddy Kit.

better get out the cheque book and just sign your name then 
you can make anything work really its just a matter of cost
i'd try gettin some measurements and costs of teh above brakes and see which one is going to be the closest fit and not crazily expensive and then go to some engineering companies and see if they can make some custom steering knuckles or something to make them fit, the rotors would probably have to be redrilled to 4 stud unless u wanted to go down teh 5 stud path... i have seen a ae92/20v that has done the 5stud hub conversion somewhere sorry cant remember where...actually i think it was a US site dunno if that helps you sorry. You would probably have to upgrade your master cylinder as well with something larger.
Good luck with the convo, would to like to hear how u get on.
Cheers

That would be an AE101 GTZ Superstrut caliper on a redrilled ST185 GT4 disc.
Go to http://www.twincam.org and there is a thing in the FAQ about it.

on the aw11 ive got GT4 twin pistons numbers that were a direct fit onto the facotry mounts and rotors. off hand the factory aw11 rotors are 258 ?
running bendix metal king pads they certainly stop the little mr2 nicely
