Yes, superstrut brakes will fit. The page is below... You have to click on "Cached" on the third one down, as the forum has long since disappeared:

Superstrut is a Toyota suspension variant. Like the JDM Celica SS-II, the SS stands for super strut.
Try www.club4ag.com, there might be some ss info there?

thanks. i've come accross that thread already. but there's too much machining, imho.

was wondering if there was a way to keep the two-piston calipers so i could switch to OEM soec struts. spare parts for the SS are a bitch to find back here in the PI.

Read the thread a bit more carefully. The thread details how to put superstrut twin piston calipers on a standard MacPherson strut suspension car. Another option, so I've heard (and seen) is Skyline R32 four-piston calipers. I don't know the details on this one, but once I do, I'll post it up for ya.

thanks. but my problem is having to machine the caliper for it to fit. also that i have to machine the disc down a few mm's. i'm not so hot on having to machine anything... expecially on important components like brakes... scary thought.

wow! 4-piston calipers! that would be very interesting...
