I assume you know that you need supra size rotors to go along with the calipers.
The rears are not bolt on.
You would need to make a custom bracket to adapt the mounting holes of the rear caliper. Take note that this bracket needs to be designed and built to withstand the stress factors of the whole caliper assembly or else.

You also need to make sure your wheels will clear the brake calipers. Many don't.
Also, if you have a stock tire for a spare, you better check that as well or you'll be in for a very un-pleasant surprise.
Lot's of Supra TT spacesaver spare tires selling well on the classifieds as well.
Lot's of threads on these topics.

I think Neo knows the answer to that.
Otherwise PM me your e-mail for a PDF file of the template I made.

Surprisingly, the Brembos apparently fit behind the Salinas as someone did that in San Diego and he said no spacers.
FYI - StopTechs and Rotoras will also fit behind the Salinas.
CinFulxGS4, I'm not sure if you will need new wheels again if you attempt the TT upgrade.
