Default Will LS400 Calipers fit over Supra TT Rotors?

I just installed ls400 calipers with ls400 rotors.. I would like to know if the ls400 calipers will fit over the Supra TT rotors..

I searched a little bit, but didnt go through every thread. I found one answer but it was unclear.

Thanks in advance...............

How was install? Pretty easy?

I believe the supra rotors are bigger, but I'm not sure.

install was alright.. a lot of frozen bolts along the way.. and removing the rotor off was a pita becuase it was held on by rust, eventually came off with the sledge hammer.. pretty straight forward

they have a good write up on www.luxurymods.com except they show it for supra tt calipers.. installation is the same basically..

it's like .3 cm bigger, all I remember is someone said brackets need to be change in order to have Supra discs, but I don't remember what bracket...I'm thinking Supra's since you are trying to have Supra discs, but let someone with this modification done to confirm this issue...or search for this topic, I remember reading it..

reason for asking was because there are much better quality rotors out there made for the supra tt calipers than there are for the ls400 calipers..

Supra rotors are bigger than the LS400 ones. I would not try to install those, the clearance within the caliper may not be enough.
