there all expensive I dont think you can do a Big brake upgrade cheaper then $1000 bucks! Even if you do got Supra TT after Braided lines and rotors and pads, and shims you will be right around there!

You can do used TT rotors and calipers. They show up from time to time on SF for 500. Then new pads 60bux and 80bux for lines. Not much cheaper but a little. Plus he didnt specify a price limit

You can add to the list:
Project Mu bbk
Rod Millen bbk (what I have)
Endless bbk.



I've got my old set of front dimpled/slotted rotors (less than 8k miles) that I can sell along with brand new sealed in the package aftermarket front brake pads. Please Pm me.

AP racing, basically any setup that will fit on a mk4 supra will fit straight on the gen 1. Bear in mind though wheel clearance will be your biggest issue.
