20K miles on tt calipers with hawk pads for 350, , pretty damn cheap if you ask me, if i didn't already have them i'd buy these.

p.s. I don't know the guy and i'm not trying to help sell them, just let you all know that they're there.

 

new calipers from steve is approx 420 .. i think its worth the extra few bucks for piece of mind

 

420 bucks each right. plus 100 bucks for pads?

 

I rebuilt my 32k MKIV TT brakes myself for 20 bucks. It was nearly impossible to tell the old piston seals from the new ones... the old ones still had the factory paint marks on the rings.

420 for the pair as far as pads , i would never use someone elses pads on my ride .. i need to know i bed them properly or their goes 300 for new rotors

 

a more cost effective solution is the 4 piston ls400 setup, pads and calipers 250 shipped.

 

Thats true that the calipers are cheaper, and four piston. However, they arent going to be any where near as good as the Supra four pistons since the actual area of the pads as so much smaller

 

im assuming you have hard numbers to prove it

 

I remember a couple months ago, somebody had posted a site that sells remanufactured TT calipers? Anyone still have the link? I tried a search for refurbished and/or remanufactured Supra calipers, but nada.

 

PM nextlevelcoupe. He wrote the thread about the calipers..

 

 

I have been searching to try and find the numbers, but i cant find matching numbers. Found lots of info, but cant seem to find the same specs for both calipers. Not trying to knock the pick-up truck calipers, just saying that theres more to be had with the supra 4pots

 

yup your right, a more older design, and they cost more used.

 

Older design? I was under the impression that the design of the LS400/HiLux calipers was first seen in production around 1989. Granted they came out in a non-vented design, but they were changed around ?94?

 

they only came in 4 piston after 95. The supra rotors are a tad bit bigger than the ls400 so the supra brakes may be a tad bit better. I know the braking distance is posted for these somewhere but i don't recall where i last saw them.
