TC Brakes
Ok so are there any cars out there that have the same bolt pattern as the TC but have a larger disc??? like say the tc's disk is 11" are there any that have a 11.5" or 12"??
also are there any that are OE and not aftermarket. I was thinking that maybe the celica GTS may have larger disks but i dunno...

I remember reading somewhere that tC's have the same brakes as the celica in the front, and the V6 camry in the rear.
Unverified though... I'll look it up... or hopefully, someone'll beat me to it.

dang it i meant front i am primarily interested in front...
the whole point of this is that if you get a larger rotor your braking forces increas with out necessarily having a larger caliper/pad....
3 advantages
heat dissiaption
larger swept braking area
more braking torque applied

They are 07 Camry V6 rotors clamped by 98 4 cyl calipers. The hub dia and bolt pattern are NOT the same though. A bracket will need to be built, the rotors will need to be redrilled, and a hub adapter will need to be machined.
