they dont fit...and in the first photo he had the TT wheels with the OEM lexus rotors on them...

Me too

Anyway, just wondering, as you did just the front brake upgrade (correct?) how does the brake bias feel now? I've heard that with the Supra brakes that the braking balance is, well, unbalanced if you get me? Let me know.

Cheers

Hey Tim,

I just completed my Supra TT brakes in the front too. Everything went smooth too. Check out my thread.

Jose, I know what your saying. I feel a little bit of front bias, but its not too bad. Nothing that causes and problems or danger anyway. Still well worth the upgrade IMO.

And an update for those of you wondering about the stopping power and feel. I've gotten on the brakes a few times now since the break in period and I'm very impressed. These brakes feel like the ones that should have come on the car from the factory and make the stock ones seem way weak. The first time I got on them, I had my front tires squeal a bit, even with the 235 (8") kumhos up front. I was impressed, as I don't think the old brakes could have done that.
