The A6 Celica/Carina topic

[roman]

I'm working on brakes for mine at the moment.

Looks as though I'm gonna use pretty much the entire late model SW20 setup.

275 x 30mm front rotors, and twinpot calipers to suit

281 x 22mm rear rotors, single pot + disc handbrake for rear. (might go for smaller diameter rear disc)

The disc operated handbrake is effing useless, it couldnt stop my car from rolling off the curvature of the earth. But meh, it'll be good enough to make my car road worthy, so it'll have to do.

I've raced with this setup on my SW20, on a track that has a big stop from 190ish kph each lap and never had a single hint of fading, so it should be all good for this car.

Only thing with this, is that I wont be able to run 14" wheels at all.

If I run the early SW20 setup then I could fit 14s, 258 x 25 mm front rotors and 263 x 16mm rear rotors, and calipers to suit.... But I'd rather have the bigger brakes!

A few people have been telling me that the standard AA63 10" disc front end brake setup will be good enough, which is probably true, but I'm a sucker for punishment.
