ST182 Brake Upgrade

Hey Guys
I am looking at replacing my current stock brake setup on the car above with ST185 GT-4 Celica disc rotors and the appropriate pads to suit. Is this a difficult conversion? What is required to be replaced along with the rotors and pads themselves? Approximately what cost am I looking at for such a conversion?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Dan

I'm guessing your car has 258x22 rotors with a big single piston caliper, if your looking at getting the aus spec gt4 brakes you will need the calipers as well as the rotors, the only price that i know of is $250 for the rotors, pads is just a matter of ringing an auto store and Classique71 is or was sell the calipers.

Doh!
Just read you're signature.
Measure the diameter of your discs & compare at an importer.
I didn't have to change discs when I want from single to twin piston calipers.
Price?
That's dependant on where you get the stuff & how much of it you do yourself.
Ring around, you live in the right area to get this kind of gear cheaply.

No, the EXIV Coronas share the same numbers as the Celicas.
xT182: 3S-GE FWD
xT183: 3S-GE FWD convertible
xT185: 3S-G(T)E 4wd
I didn't have to change my discs, but maybe that's different for older models (mines a 96)
Maybe you need to pull your discs off & take them to compare.

S - engine yeah no arguments.
T - shouldnt that designate the chasis family... corona im gussing RWD ? i would have thought the chasis would vary somewhat enough not to be the same.
and having two completly different cars with the same designation dosent seem particulary toyotaish.

wow is there really a formula for that, i didn't think so, the 162, 184, 204 look nothing alike as far as a chasis are concerned, and yeah the GT4 are AWD where does that fit in???
i just thought the coronas were like ST180 or something not 182

the first piece "S" is always the engine family.. St184 Aw11 Ae86
i dont think its a chasis code more a chasis family iirc.
first number is major revision code second part is minor revision code/.
aw10 aw11 first majaor revison/0th 1st major revison/
etc.

Thanks for the help goys  Any more help or advice, keep it coming in
Just to lay any misnderstanding to rest, it is a ST182 and is a FWD, running the 3S-FE (hopefully to be changed to 3S-GE/GTE, further down the track). I think it runs largely the same chassis as the ST182 Celica, just the body itself is different.
This may be a really dumb question (and will reveal my total lack of Celica knowledge) what does JDM stand for?
Im looking at replacing the discs at a later date with a DBA Gold cross-drill setup, so I thought I might as well move up in the braking stakes with twin pot calipers and decent pads.
Thanks for the info thus far guys, keep it coming!

JDM means Japanese Domestic Market. I think they are different to what the export markets get (eg. US, Europe, Australia etc.)
They seem to get more options and more powerful engines in JDM cars.

The 4 door Coronas/Caldinas have a number 10 higher than the Celica:
Celica Corona/Caldina
xT16x xT17x
xT18x xT19x
xT20x xT21x
then the new chassis & engines came out (1ZZFE, 2ZZGE, etc) so the codes changed completely.
For some reason, the Celicas, Corona EXIV, & Carinas share identical major revision numbers.
T: chassis (ie floorpan & running gear, the panels may be different though)
first x: didn't put "S" in as there are other engines available like
A: 7A-FE
C: 2C diesel
E: 5E-FE

Yep, the Corona we got in Oz in 86 was the last RWD, they've been FWD or 4WD ever since.
You may notice that about that time the Celicas also went from RWD to FWD & 4WD.

i dunno the model Number for the old skool corona's but i used to have an RA60 and that had interchangable parts with the same year corona's i am not sure if the Corona that came with the LSD could fit hte celica's though.. it owuld be interesting to find out if someone had done it or just used an MA61 LSD. Those 4wd coronas u talk about are all japspec tho ?

4wd models only started once the platform changed to the fwd version.

wait a sec someone just said that the T stand for the floor plan and running gear, i'm sorry but the GT4 ~ST185~ and the FWD ~ST184~ don't share the same floor plan, and i would assume the running gear would be different to. its just my thoughts on this matter i didn't even relise they had a formular for it.
