They will, BUT there is no point. The rear LS400 calipers are the same ones on your car now. If you are looking for 2-pot rears go with the TT brakes.

That weight amount is negligible. Why?

I'm just curious what the weight difference is. If it's negligible like you say, than I guess it doesn't matter...

The rotors i think are from rotorworks. They are cross drilled/slotted and zinc plated.

I have driven both the Supra with the TT brakes and the SC with the LS brake conversion and i can say the front brakes are relatively the same, the Supra brakes bite harder , only due to the two piston rear calipers. It is definitely a noticeable difference from the stock calipers.

Yeah man, it's not an amount that matters. It wouldn't be a weight-savings issue worth worrying about...
