Holy cr@p!
I just went to the Toyota Dealer to get a quote on the Supra TT brakes (front and rear). The total is 2001.05 dollars + tax.
Is this something I should have expected?
That is a $h!t load of money that I cannot afford. Is there any other brakes that will bolt on the SC4s?

Yes, that's the retail price. Call Curt at 630-279-2265, tell him what you're looking for and he'll give you a nice price.

Direct, what's a "nice price"? Just curious because I want some serious braking power too.

I don't know how much for all the brakes, but I payed 650 bucks with tax (because I wanted them now and these guys weren't too far from me) for the front. You will need:

- Calipers
- Rotors
- Shims
- Pads
- Shields (optional)
- Stoppers (I don't know the exact name)

The person will know the parts. Call either Curt or Steve, they both know what they're doing and have good prices.

Shop around, someone must have them cheaper than that, we have to arrange for a guy in Belgium to buy the brakes from Germany and ship the to the UK, otherwise we would pay about £1200 GBP. for a full set of Supra TT brakes.
