2-1. Not Painted (Supra Logo)

At first glance it looks very expensive, but it is very reasonable compared with brembo or others. And it made from "genuine parts".

we can't just buy the brackets?

U can buy brand new supra rear calipers from steve Ganz for $222USD each.

If some how we can obtain those brackets, everyone can make their own kit.
everything can be obtained here for way cheaper.

Exact measurements have to be taken!

is it possible to atleast get the dimentions?
or be able to buy it from them?

thanx

Looking at the pic, I suspect that some rework is required on the rear calipers as well (besides the brackets).

Actually the TT calipers have to be machined down and tapped for the bolts to hold the bracket. When it comes to brake you want to do it right.

Yes, that's right. The calipers need to be processed.

By the way, I found a export agent who prepares for the overseas customers. See "Hirano Tire", and check "Price" button. (I had purchased the kit somewhat at a low price from "Hirano Tire".) You can find "OOPARTS INTERNATIONAL, INC.".

By the way^2, what does TT stand for? (TOYOTA?)

Does anyone know a shop that does this sort of thing? For a fair price???

So what, U need the brackets and machine the caliper for it to fit?

Rotors, no problem!, SS lines, PADS, NO problem!


lets say I have the calipers RIGHT NOW!,

step it out for me...

what to do now? I don't even know the size of the bracket, what part to shave,
How would U explain this to a shop?

lots and lots of labour, unless we do a group buy or something like that,

atleast to have the calipers altered to our specifications.

anyone can get the pads, rotors, lines etc.

But whats really important is to make the caliper ready for some ACTION.

I have the supra TT front upgrade already, painted Porsche RED, SS lines front/rear.

Need that Balance like Soaristo said

But over a $1G USD for the (rear calipers Only, no rotors etc), I guess I would sell my fronts as well, spend a little more $$ and get PLP(stopTech) 4 pot kit all around for on 14" rotors.

Like U gotta be out of your mind not to get this...

I'm kicking myself right now.

I have already spent the money for the PLP kit on my supra TT kit. ( I have gone through 3 sets of rotors)
including the labour for all this work .

Now I know to buy atleast 2 piece rotors.

1 piece don't last guys, Trust me!

Best rotors U can get for the TT setup are Project Mu 2 piece rotors.


http://www.i-m-racing.com/projmu2piecb.html $639USD
Unless U know a better 2 piece rotors SOaristo. If U do, let me know!
I feel like rotors are almost going again.

or

just run this...
