Brake experts! Need replacement calipers
#46
Well, I tried to do the swap today, but no luck I found out late that my 18" L-Tuned wheels does not clear the Supra TT front calipers. After hours of jacking up the GS, loosen all bolts for the calipers, removing all four wheels, and shaving one front driver side dust shield, I have to put all back due the front wheels won't clear. I was going to shave the front passenger side dust shield also, since I was going to stick with the modification. I was thinking of doing the rears for today and finish up the front some other time, but after four hours in the sun by myself doing this project, I was too exhausted and my body was in pain, especially my hands for trying to loosen all the bolts. Thank God, I have the tools to for it. My recommendation for this project is to do it in the shop where you can work standing, not bending down as I did. Either way, I'll try to finish this project up. I have to, especially seeing the Supra TT calipers on my GS for a short time. At the moment, I'm planning to go with spacers, but ultimately, I'm going to find wheels that will clear it so show off the Supra TT calipers.

Does anybody know the exact size difference between our stock calipers and the Supra calipers? I should have about 1/2" clearance between my new rims and my stock calipers and I'm wondering if the Supra's will fit.
