hi I am having trouble finding caliper replacement from my home country, just wondering what other car uses 88 esprit caliper (dba 141985), so i can narrow down my search. hope you guys can help, thanks.

It's a Toyota part.

[hotsv1]

which toyota uses it?

[Newts]

I think it was the Celica

If you mean the Celica Supra 9MA61) that is just a foot brake caliper, no provision for a hand brake.

i am giving up hunting for it, as it was weak part for 88 esprit anyways, decided to get 321mm disc rear with V8 brembo caliper. thx guys,

For reference I was looking for information about the distributor pickup and by chance on one of the pages I was looking at they mentioned the brake calipers.

He said that it was from a 1985 Toyota Celica but that they were used on the opposite side.

Upgrading the rears only is dangerous. Most of the braking is done by the front brakes. If you improve the rears, they will get stronger than supposed to and you will lose the balance of the car. You also will have to improve the front ones.

Afaik the rear calipers aren't off any other car. Only the fronts were Toyota's.

I have a feeling they may even be the same calipers as used on the pre-85 cars which were inboard but hard for me to check presently.

I believe you are correct, only the mounting brackets are different. I think they are Girling, definitely not Toyota.

If anyone in the US is looking for replacement rear calipers I have a nice pair that came off a car with fewer than 7200 miles of use.

i ordered new rear brake kit with late model brembo setup, will get my friend to get me the front brake kit . easier to go aftermarket then stock. original's arnt that good anyways.

Considering that rear brake pads are off 1981 Lancia Beta (or Gamma), the calipers must be the same.
