Default SC430 brakes same as 2GS brakes?

Ok, I have a problem. I just bought some brakes that were for a Supra and the front bolts up perfectly on my 2GS front. However the rear is different from the Supra brakes. The company makes brackets that are application specific for the IS300 and SC430(same part number) but they don't list compatibility for the GS. I even went on Autozone website and looked up both the SC and GS and they both share the same caliper and rotor part numbers.

Soo....in short. My question is if the SC430 and 2GS share the same rear brake setup from the factory?

I know some of you guys here have had both cars before and might know. Thanks in advance!

They are the same.

I've also checked the oem catalog and it shows UZS161 has exactly the same rear brake setup as UZZ40.

EDIT: Talwang I just saw your post. Thanks for confirming for me. I'll go order the new brackets tomorrow. Thanks again!

I'm not using the OEM Supra TT brakes. I'm using these brakes. The brackets were for a Supra, not for a GS. Hence why I'm wondering if the SC and GS brakes are the same. They make brackets for the IS and SC, but not for the GS. I have a gut feeling they're all the same bracket and someone at the company just didn't test the bracket for fitment on the GS.

No problem. I also post the pics of both lists, so you can double confirm.

I love your new BBK setup. $$$$$$$
I thought Brembo only makes the rear GT BBK for the LS430 and IS250/350.

Hope everything works out nicely for you.
