Calipers look nice. I wanna know how people repaint them WITH the supra font, is there a stencil out there? I've seen silver (yours), red, OEM, lime green all with SUPRA repainted back on, still looking the same as OEM. Post an install pic when you get the Techna's on.

those wheels are killer, but when you go to replace the rubber go with a tad higher profile. I can't believe those 19s almost look too small in the wheel well b/c the damn rubber is like 1/2 inch thick! hot ride though, very classy.

It was a very hot sunny day in Socal. I was so exhaust by the time I finish putting on FIT Stainless Steel Brake Lines for my Supra TT Brakes system. This is not really a D.I.Y. but it will help anyone thinking or in the process of upgrading the Supra TT brake. I'm glad that I choose FIT brand. They are so easy to install. Here are few pictures I took.
The 1st picture show where to shave the dust cover to clear the Supra TT calipers. This is for the Left Rear, the rest is pretty much the same.

Mkiiisupra, I notice from your picture, the SS line is straight up from the caliper. I recommend turning it a little away from the coilover. I adjusted mine again due to finding out that if you make sharp turn like "U" turn, there is a chance that the SS line will rub against the coilover. Best way is to make either turn all the way and check to see if it rub or not. Mine did not rub when I have it straight like yours, but it was very close to the coilover and I don't want to take any chances so I turn the line away from the coilovers. Just a little tip I find out. I wish someone knew about this before hand and let me know ahead then I didn't have to guess where to set it. As for the rear, I recommend facing downward. As you mention in PM, the lower the vehicle is, the more likely that the SS lines might be short. As I was installing it, I took your concept and it make sense to having facing downward to increase SS line distance. Look at the pictures I posted and you'll see that the rear is face downward but the front is like yours which is pretty much staight, but it was before I adjust it to avoid rubbing against the coilover. Sorry for the long post.
Oh, one last thing, I decided to use the factory Supra TT banjo bolt instead of the F.I.T. due to personal preference and someone in one other post did the same thing. I notice the factory bolt is thicker which I like more since I'm going to tighten it real tight and I like the thickness of the factory for that purpose. As for the washers, I used the one that came with the F.I.T. You can see the banjo bolt in my last picture and yours for comparison.
