Nice vid clip of your SC. Love the sound of the V8 under raw power; reminds me a lot like an E55

Not that it matters, but was the vid taken before or after the Supra brakes were installed?

Very nice. I'm just waiting to use up the stock tires so I can throw on some 19's with enough clearance for the calipers.

OK got the Supra caliper, brand new for $400.00.
Questions for everyone;
What brand and size (drilled /slotted) rotors would you suggest?
What brand pads do you suggest?
What brand steel brake-lines do you suggest.
Thanks in advance!!!

Good for you Billy, you are going to love them.

I highly recommend the Hawk HPS pads myself. Available from Tirerack.com
Lines are Goodridge lines. Not sure if Carson still carries them. Could try tmengineering.net.
As far rotors, your options are wide, but I confess I run those cheepy slotted/drilled rotors from R1concepts.com which cost like 80.00 for two fronts and the thing is they really are pretty decent. No cracks, no warping, no issues, and that is with some agressive driving behind them. Other more expensive brands are available.

Not really a big Supra Fan but damn that car looks great. I definitely respect that.

Congrats Powmax on the successful mod!
