heres a comparison shot of 3 pad sizes
the one on the left is the gs stock (puny huh) the one in the middle is the ls430 (nearly twice the surface area of the stock gs) and the one on the right is the supra tt rears (as you can see ls430 are still even larger then supratt)
heres a top shot of the calipers before painting them as you can see the size of the pistons , they are big for more brake trq

i am still surprised that no one wants to step up the braking perf for those who have supra tt fronts or ls400/430 fronts or even some 4 pot stoptechs /rotoras etc..
last chance before i break up the kit and sell stuff sep
the stock rears are just so tiny

rotors
did your friend take the rotors? Give me couple more days, hopefully no one gets these, I can send money order due to moving and closing checking account giving proper forwarding addresses n such.

I posted but never got a response
Will they fit inside stock 17's?
Can you send me current pics? including mounting brackets
What does the install entail?
Also does the stock parking brake work with these?

install requires you to remove stock caliper , remove stock rotor , it requires you to bend back the dust shild and enlargen the opening to fit the 13in rotor or just remove it then you mount the brackets onto the axle carrier/hub mount your rotor and bolt on the caliper and you are done
parking brakes work like stock
as said before these work extremely well , if you have supra tt fronts ls400/430 fronts , stoptech 4pots., brembo 4pots etc etc they will give you a huge increase in brake bal and bias just like why now stoptech is offering a 2pot for the rears but larger pad area and slightly larger piston for increased brake trq.. but since i went to a 6pot front and damm these things scare the crap out of me , my bal/bias has shifted slightly forward , so i want to bal it out with the 4 pot rears and give someone else a chance in america to have a exculsive setup , their is no one else with this and for the money you will be very very happy with perf and esp the looks of the larger caliper and rotor
