Hmm.. I have mine upgraded to Supra calipers in the front, with Supra front dimpled and slotted rotors.. (Ikuda.. dont know how to spell..) And stock size Brembo GS300 dimpled and slotted in the back. Running Toyota Supra OEM pads on the front and cheap Beck Arnleys on the back..LOL I'm probably going to do the Supra rear calipers too when I do the LSD...I may need the whole ebrake assembly and all when I do the manual tranny. Oh and stainless lines. My car feels like it could do an endo it stops so fast in a straight line. I'm looking into the Supra brake master cylinder too.. or the LS400 or something.

. As far as I'm concerned cross drilled will always crack easier, especially with "ebay" rotors....

Yes, the Supra Mk4 twinturbo front calipers are a direct bolt on to the front of a GS300 or SC300. Some people say that stainless lines or even the GS300 rubber lines (not recommended..upgrade to stainless) arent long enough, but I had no problem. I just used the Supra banjo bolt b/c it is a little longer than the ones that came with the stainless lines kit for the GS300.
You of course need to pick up a set of Mk4 twin turbo size rotors for the front also.
I've heard that the twin turbo rear calipers and rotors are a bolt up too.. may check that out soon when I do my Supra diff.

Yes.they are OEM rotors that are slotted and dimpled.but curious?how is the dimple put on?cuz you can't dimple the rotor with a press.You have to machine the dimple,just like drilling them in.
sorry lexaristo but every one buys the same rotors from the same place.All from over sea's.Even mine.I will look into buying 4 piston brake for my next project.
Just be honest ,no bull please.
