Yes they fit! You need Rear Supra TT rotors and you have to trim the OEM rotor backing plate to accomodate the rotor and caliper.

Default Advantage??

What are the advantages of going with this switch?

Size? If so what is the size difference

Aesthetics? Are the TT calipers painted?

Bigger calipers, better performance and nicer looking as well

I have only done my rear Supra brakes so far and I can guarantee that the rear Supra SS brakelines bolt right up. I got the Goodridge brakelines and they worked perfectly for the rear. Hopefully I'll get to my fronts soon!

im having trouble locating rotors for my supra tt upgrade.. Arent the front and rear rotors the same exact size? im not sure, but thats what ive heard. Everywhere i look i can only find vendors that sell only front or only rear rotors. ive tried looking at brembos, rotera and other no name companies, and it seems as though only the no name companies offer all four (front and rear) as a set for sale. If you have all four supra tt brakes upgraded on your car what rotors did u guys use, also how much did u pay for them and where did you get them from?

Front and rear will be different sizes due to the drum in the rear.

Use GS lines, I ordered Goodridge Supra SS lines originally and they were waayyy to long in the front. I know they arent in the recommended "s" shape, just messing with things when picture was taken, you still see how long they are.


So I ordered new Techna Fit lines made for a GS and they were the right length.
