I just called Baer Brakes to request a Brake Caliper Hanger for a 14" rotor on the stock Supra Calipers. They are going to call me today with a price for the hangers. That is all you would need. That would be over 2000BHP on a 14" rotor. The only catch is you would have to run large 18" or 19" rims to clear a 14" rotor with those calipers. But the good thing is it would be ~ $500.

Don't forget the core charge guys. When I added a caliper to the cart it was about +$64 for core charge which made the total about $144 per caliper.

I have the LS400 calipers. Would the Supra TT rotors fit the LS400 calipers?

I ask because it's easier to find 2 piece rotors for the Supra TT in stock size.

Supra rotors are larger, it probably won't fit..

Depends. OEM 17" MKIV Supra TT wheels will fit over for sure. You need a high disk fitment. Its not completely dependent on the offset and width.

My local advance auto told me to buy the Supra Calipers and return the SC400's for core. Its not like they are going to examine and know which caliper came from where.

Alright got my LS brakes on pedal is spongy seems to be a common issue. Is this a solvable problem, or just have to deal with it issue? All the old brake fluid was bled out and new was added in. Bled twice by machine, new pads new rotors, SS lines. Rears are still stock, but also new pads and SS lines.

Were your LS400 brakes rebuilt, new, or are they used?
