Nowhere in there does it mention swapping the OE Bremo calipers from the STI. In fact, it specifically says " aftermarket calipers." You're telling other people to call Toyota for specifics on which brakes they used in order to prove that it wasn't an STI Brembo swap, and yet you're just automatically assuming that's what it is. I'm not saying that isn't what they did, but there's nothing to support that claim either way. Although the use of the term "aftermarket" would indicate that it wasn't a swap of an OE setup.
Update: The cars for the Celebrity Race used Stop-Tech front calipers. http://www.carbuildindex.com/6448/sc...ace-car-build/
So whatever point you were trying to make with that article is invalid. |
I never said those car used STi Brembos. If you read the article it said that they were aftermarket and not STI. So you're pointing out something that we all already know. My point is that you can go with bigger calipers up front and leave the stock rears with upgraded pads which is what Toyota did. Which was what I did on my car.
