Hi guys, i was just wondering if the all trac brakes are the same as the GT4? on my 91, i have twin piston design for the front and single piston in the rear. Does the all trac have the same design or are my brakes jdm only.Thanks for the help,my rear brakes are shot(metal to metal) and i might as well do my fronts.Thanks again guys for any help.

Some very early ST185's did receive the ST165 setup with the twin piston and 255mm rotor.
If you are trying to get parts tell them to look up the 165 and it will be perfect.

And I believe its not as effective as the later ST185 setup anyways ....

are they noticeably smaller? my friends 185 narrowbody has visibly smaller brakes than me and we can't figure out what to replace them with.

I think the 185 setup benefits mostly from a larger rotor used with the massive single 50mm piston caliper.

Great info and good pics, but I need to make sure I'm understanding correctly. I have a 185 that I'm pretty sure is an early model with the 165 brakes and am looking to replace/upgrade. I've heard a lot of people say to upgrade from the single piston calipers of the late 185s to the 205s. If I've got the 165 brakes, can I still upgrade to a set of 205s or even the late 185s?

your most simple upgrade would be to buy later model ST185 calipers, brackets and rotors to replace your two piston setup. This will bolt up directly to your car with no additional modification. If you're looking to have dramatically improved braking, there are big brake kits available for varying costs or the St205 brakes can be fitted after making some modifications.
