Do the Celisor 4 spot front calipers (from late models) fit onto the 95 V8 GT-L's without modifing studs or adding spacers such as the supra TT. Was looking at using them to replace standard 2 spot calipers on the soarer.

Yes they fit. You don't need spacers.
I have a set on my car, you can see if your wheel fits over them.

I also have a couple of sets for sale as well.

How much are you looking for the front 2 celisor calipers, you dont have supra TT calipers by any chance? Also wanted to buy larger rotors, maybe 300mm, can this fit with the celisor calipers or to large for the caliper?

Looks like Celsior Calipers are the way im going. What is the maximum rotor size you can have on the celsior calipers, want to get larger slotted rotors but havent bought the calipers yet to determine?

OK a V8 has 275mm dia rotors

The rotors for the Celsior are 315, an increase of 33% in rotor area.

Supras are only another 4% over that.

And, with celsior callipers you can run 16" rims, you can't with Supra callipers.

I didn't know that. Stock 16" rims though? Or only some after market ones?

Stock Celsior rims for sure, but I doubt those original Soarer rims.

I just remembered, Celsior callipers do NOT bolt straight on.

They require modification to fit, so don't buy from wreckers or you will get a surprise!!

Manny, according to the EPC the UCF21 rear brakes are the same as the JZZ30 - same part numbers at least.

Speaking of Brake sizes, on the UCF20 2nd Generation celsiors, can the 16" TT soarer spoked wheels fit on fine with out hitting the callipers?

No Mike they won't fit, you would need Supra TT wheels or aftermarket wheels with high disc clearance, basically you need 70mm clearance from the disc face to the inside of wheel spoke.

Why would you want to? If you buy a 2nd gen Celsior they already come with 16s that clear the brakes fine. It's not like the TT rims are a stunningly attractive thing.

Yeah, thats a point, but I find they are still slightly nicer than the 2nd Gen 16" wheels, still both are not amazingly attractive but I still quite like them. Speaking of rims the 5 spoke rims for the later celsiors models arent to bad either. All of the OEM wheels are nice at the end of the day. :-)

They just need to be dremeled down a bit. Not a big job.

You then need 65 mm clearance from the rotors to the rim and new rotors.

You can get rotors from DBA or RDA. RDA's are the cheapest (but probably not as good).
Numbers are: RDA 7517SL/SR or DBA745 I think.

Just dredging up an old post, but to confirm when fitting ls400 4 pots the minimum wheel clearance at any point between rotor face and spoke is 65mm?

what about distance from the mounting face to spoke on the wheel itself?
