Levin SS Twinpots on Stock E10 Mac Hub

Kiwi-Corolla wrote:

The ST202 Celica pads are slightly wider compared to the AE111 Levin ones, so cover a fraction more of the disc on the inside. The difference in braking performance would be negligible however. When I bought my pads I was deciding between the two types and ended up going for the AE111 pads as they're more suitable for the size/weight of the car.

But they will fit without problem or modification? In my case will be a bit of advantage due to more braking surface & heat dissipation for track use.

Just wondering because the online measures that I found

Celica 94-99
141 x 62.5 x 17

Levin 95-00/MR2 84-00
141 x 56.5 x 15.5

Thanks

any other online page similar to compare the measures?

this is how my mr2 pads sit

Here's a reference pic when I first installed mine:

more or less the same as mine

mines are Slotted for T-Sport Model.

still looking to get a bit bigger racing pads for my set up... :/

ah ok ivan, mine are the same as yours then lol

I have st202 twinpot calipers and carriers can i use them on the coroll?

Are the celica twinpots the same as levin twinpots ? Do i use levin front disks aswell or the corolla disks the same ?

im looking into this now, any difference between the levin and celica twin pots.? does it have to be a st202 carrier or can the levin carrier be used.?

Ive found levin twin pots and carriers a few mile from where im living, will the levin carrier work.? also do i need to change the brake lines going to the caliper.?

Calipers are similar or same as I know but from Levin twin pots the carriers can't be used on corolla, since the mounting bolts aren't the same.

To clear up the matter of whether the ae101 used 54 or 55mm center hubs, they used both....

The early models (1992 to 1994/1995) used 54mm center hubs
The face lifted models (1995 ? 1996-1997) used 55mm center hubs

in fact, if you have a 1996 and later ae101, you will notice that the OEM A arms of your car uses the same bushings as ae111 models.... a horizontal bolt on the front A arm bush and a vertical bolt on the rear bush....

Mine did....

in the Philippines, we have 3 basic models of the ae101, the XL (238mm x 16mm vented single pot and rear drum), XE (same) and GLi (same).... XL and XE used 1.3L carby while GLi used EFI....

I also upgraded from the OEM brakes to a full celica SS3 super strut brakes, using the brake rotors, 2 pot calipers/caliper carrier and back cover of the celica...

The ST202 caliper carrier that I got did not clear the 275mm x 28mm disc so I still had to have them reduced to 266mm to clear the 2 pot caliper without hitting the caliper carrier roof.....

other than that, everything fit right..... the celica that I got used 55mm center, and fit my hub with no problems, flush fit with no movement.... the only thing I had to do was to grind the area surrounding the caliper carrier bolt so that I move the carrier inwards by about 1mm, centering it to the disc and redrill the brake rotors for use with 4x100 hubs....

for me to clear the 275mm disc without machining, I then need to use a celica GT single pot caliper carrier.... this one is longer than that one I am using now.....

the celica SS3 caliper carrier I have is 67mm from the center of the slider pin bolt to the center of the caliper bolt where it bolts into the hub.... and I need something like a 72mm caliper carrier to make it fit.... the celica GT caliper carrier reportedly fits the bill since it reportedly has a 75mm length from the two aforementioned points.

but for now I am enjoying the braking performance that a celica 2 pot big disc kit offers.... its a lot better than the OEM one by miles.
