I also have the supra TT brakes. If you don't mind spending a little less and getting used brakes, I would look up TAP recycling (Toyota Auto Parts) I believe it's on the net. Sorry I don't have the web addy. I got rotors, and the caliper from them for 300. The brakes came off a 97 supra. I have had no problems at all with them. If you are mechanically inclined, the job is really simple. You may need a vacuum brake bleeder if you don't have an extra set of hands and feet to help you bleed the air out of the system.
I have run the 17 inch stock rims but you need to have a 15 or 20 mm spacer. I got H&R ones from Dave at GTautosports. You need to change the studs to longer ones. Once again this is a straight forward change. If you have an air impact hammer, it makes the job incredibly fast. If you don't use a spacer, you are gonna have to shave off either the inner rim, or the caliper. I don't recommend any of these. Just do it the right way and get the spacer.
Hope this helps some. I also have an extra set of 16's and will try to see if they fit with the TT brakes, I'll post you later to tell you if it fits.
good luck with the mods

TEIN NA
I have 19 inch rims but I still can make the car feel like it is riding on 17's. I just click about 3-4 in front and 2 on the rear. When I feel sporty, i click 8-10 in front and 6-8 on the rear and the car feels super stiff. I haven't gone farther than this.
Overall drop is about 1.2 inches but can go down another 20mm in front and 10 mm on the rear. The NA has an adjustable clip for the height
sorry for the late reply
