i know they dont make it for the cavalier but they do make it for the celica...i was wondering...can it be pulled off?? both are 5x100 bolt pattern and seems like it would fit....just wondering if anyone has attempted to try this..???...???
Try and tell me how it goes.
You can do it at my house while I sit back and drink.
I am all that is man
if you have the money, however be prepared to prob fabricate since its not designed for your car.
lol...nah i dont want to be the 1st one to pull it off...i just want to know if it's been done and if it was a bitch to do.....
For the front? Try using W body spindles, with 02+ F body calipers and rotors (12"). Or use a complete H body setup (11.5").
I think he wants the TRD stuff because of what all is in store for this car.
CHeck the name again and look out for it later on down the road.

James, you would still have some fabricating to do with most of what you just said. The N-body spindles and brakes would transfer without fabrication though. But it not much gain, IIRC the N-Body has 10" rotors.
CTS:
Aren't most N-body's on 5x115 pattern? I guess you could swap the entire spindle (for the front, almost guarantee some fabrication/machine work there) and the entire rear suspension for the rear (Independent Rear Suspension....yum:
http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=3&i=91525&t=91525), and if you go that far, you might as well snag the master cylinder and ABS controller so that it all works nice(r)
Damn....that actually sounds like a good idea....hmm. Might also be easier to buy the Wilwood front big brake setup and the baer rear brake kit (or front/rear baer kits, gravana should have them if i'm not mistaken.), but that won't get you IRS...
Unless you're talking about older Ns, they might be 5x100...
Same with the W, I think it's a larger bolt pattern than the J. I know that the F-body is bigger (5x120 I think) so using those rotors would require a machine shop redrilling for 5x100.
TRD_CAV:
Of course, if you're going for JDM stuff, at least it's the correct bolt pattern so the rotors would fit (no guarantee about hat depth though), and if you're talking about the FWD celica (newer ones), you might have some luck, but at the minimum for the front would be a brake caliper adapter bracket and probably some machining of the spindle for clearances. The rear, well, you might try something like the Nbody IRS swap, but with Celica parts, but major fabbing will be involved there, otherwise you might be able to steal the celica spindles and adapt them like in the neon rear disk swap:

Sleeper style, they don't see it coming that way.
When I e-mailed Wilwood about them developing a rear brake kit for the J-platform this is what they had to say.......
At this time there are no eminent plans to produce a rear kit.

Kinda depressing.
Squisher: The N-body does use 5x115 bolt patern. But otherwise there is no fabrication. You will need a n-body ball joint, knuckle, hub/bearing, and outter cv-joint.
The W-body spindle can't be swapped easily.
The f-body is 5x4.5" bolt pattern, so is the y-body. These would require alot of fabrication overall.
I'm doing a full N-body suspension swap on my sunny in a month or so. I've got half the stuff to do it. Just have to snag the rest of it when I get some time. School started just this last week and I'm still getting adjusted.
I would say that it wont fit right without major fab work, and with that said why try and reinvent the wheel here.
Just buy the tried and tru bolt on Bear kit, get the plain calipers with no logo and have the TRD logo ingraved in them?
Would be alot cheaper, and who cares of the brakes are genuine JDM.
Just my $.02
