question on break upgrade

If was to do an 3sgte engine swap, will the swap need a new front break disk? If not so that mean i can upgrade my break system first before i swap the engine and wont have to worry about ti after the swap?

You can use stock brake if you want. Would be nice if you can swap in the AllTrac brakes too. As long as your stock engine is S series (5S, 3S).

Correct me if I am wrong,but aren't the Alltrac calipers 4 pistons while the GTS are 2?

Definetly a worthwhile upgrade if you can do it.

Well i was just thinking to upgrade it to an aftermarket cross drill slotted rotor, which i dont know how much of a benefit but i am sure it'll be better then stock, because i was thinking, new engine = more power =D more power = need better breaking system

Ya my engine is an 5s series its a 5sfe unless 90 Celica GT comes with different engines

Rotor won't give you any better braking. The pads does and so will a bigger caliper. Get some semi-metalic pad like KVR or EBC.
