do the supra calipers not have a problem clearing the tie rod ends like the ls400 calipers? just bolt right on?
Yeah they bolt right on. The only modification is you need to trim a little off the dust shield or just take it off completely. Also, u need at least 17" wheels with a high offset and/or high disk wheel. But u don't need rca's like with the ls400's. You can also just get oem dust shields for a twin turbo supra if you don't wanna trim or remove stock shield.
No worries man, we're all here to learn and help each other out when we can.
This is a very helpful thread. And then the cost for new calipers are so much cheaper than what you will pay here for sale. The only thing that stood out is that the calipers didn't have Supra on them...being that they are reman. Did they grind off the words?

Hey SaiyanGS3, yeah this is the very cost affective, efficient way to go about the upgrade seeing as they are completely rebuilt with a warranty on them too. Im going to assume they did, but there is badges to reprint it on there, or stencils even. I think I may imprint "Aristo" on them, trying to keep my car a sleeper lol
thinking about doing this , will 18x8.5 40offset wheel fit? or do I need 5/8/10mm spacers?
Wheel face design is key factor in caliper clearance. Can't tell just from width and offsets considering oem Supra TT wheels are 17x8.5 +50. I would suggest doing some research on the wheel you have. Spacers may solve issue.
Anyone know if the oem 17×8 5 spoke GS wheels will clear the Supra TT Calipers? I'm strongly considering doing the upgrade if they will clear. Thanks in advance.

They will not clear. You would have to use a 15mm spacer
Great info in here man, been wanting to do this upgrade for a while now. Does anyone know if 19x9.5 with +22 offset will clear these? Also, would we need to do a brake master cylinder upgrade along with these or does the stock GS work fine? thanks in advance guys.
I did the swap about a year ago and the stock GS brake master works fine. Also the offset of the wheels doesn't necessarily mean that the wheels will clear. A lot of it has to do with the design of the spokes. I have 18x8 +45 and I only have about 1mm of clearance to the supra calipers

Thanks for the info man, what kind of wheels do you have? I think i'll be able to clear them but the more data i have to work with the better.
