Ok, this will be the official thread for the OEM Brake upgrades as there is STILL so much confusion on it.
And pleas,e if I make an error, correct me and I'll change/add it.
Front Brakes:
3 ways to go with this.
1: Ericsol (sp33d) Caliper relocation brackets to fit the Supra TT rotors.
-You NEED a minimum 17" wheel. Some 17's, due to design, will not work though.
-You may need a grinder/file for the caliper, caliper bracket, OR both. Depending on what brakes and what Gen Camry you have, it's different.
-This works on both the Gen 3/4 and Sol Gen 1 with V6 calipers/brackets.
2a: OEM Twin Piston front calipers can be used on both the Gen 4 Cam and Gen 1 Sol. You can also swap the single piston for a twin piston on the Gen 3 V6. For this, you need the following:
-Caliper, Caliper Bracket, Gen 3 V6 brake pads, Gen 3 banjo bolt (brake line to caliper bolt), new washers for the brake line, brake fluid.
-Your original brake line can be used, or you can upgrade to SS lines. It's up to you.
-Gen 3/4 Cam and Gen 1 Sol use the SAME rotors.
-Twin Piston calipers come on: 94-96 Camry V6 (With ABS brakes), 94-96 ES300, and 95-97 (I think 97) Avalon.
2b: V6 brakes on the I4, you need the following:
-Caliper, Caliper Bracket, Pads, Rotor.
-For the backing plate, gently bend the edges all the way around so that it does not hit the rotor.
-For Twin Piston on Gen 3/4 Can and Gen 1 Sol, see 2a above.
3: Ericsol (sp33d) caliper relocation brackets for Supra TT Rotor's AND twin piston Calipers.
-See 2a (For V6) or 2b (For I4), and then install the relocation brackets normally.
Rear Brakes
Ok, I KNOW for a fact this works on the Gen 3, and 90% sure it will on a Gen 4 Camr and Gen 1 Sol as they are nearly identicle fo rthe rear setup.
1a: Bigger rear rotors (Same idea as the Ericsol kit, but it's OEM). Parts Needed (if current rear setup is disc brakes):
-92-96 ES300 or Camry V6 wagon caliper BRACKET and Rotor. Thats all that I know of. Your current caliper should work fine, but I;m not sure, at all, untill people do it and give confirmation.
-Bend the backing plate gently around the edges so it does not hit the edges. You CAN easily swap in the ES300 backing plate if you have that, and then no bending required.
-Hubs are the same
1b: Bigger rear rotors (Same idea as the Ericsol kit, but it's OEM). Parts Needed (if current rear setup is drum brakes):
-92-96 ES300 or Gen 3 Wagon V6 backing plate with all parking brake pieces, caliper, caliper bracket, rotor, brake pads, AND parking brake cable (Yes the druma nd disc cables are different).
-Hubs are the same
