Default Supra TT Rear Brakes

So, How difficult is it to install the Supra TT rear calipers and rotors on the rear of the GS400/300. Does anyone have a picture of the bracket they made? I the parking brake staight forward?

Thanks

mounting the supra tt caliper takes alot of maching of the caliper and a very hard to get mounting bracket


i have the ls430 calipers mounted on mine , the first in america , the ls430 caliper/pistons are larger the pad surface area is larger and it uses the supra 13in rotor

actually mine is for sale right now check it out

no the caliper piston are larger , the caliper design is nicer loonking , more like a brembo caliper

the stopping power in at least 30% greater then stock gs rears , they grab

look at the link i provided , these work really well with supra tt fronts , ls430 fronts , or a 4pot stoptech or rotora .. i have 6pot rotora in front and i want to better balance out power by now going to a 4pot rear

hehe for the record, swain you probaby meant LS430

anyway, fitting the supra tt rear on the gs is no fun, i think it's more than just a different brackets, seems like you need to shave the calipers a bit too. if anything, i would just do the ls430 rear setup

but these dont cost the 4500+ to get there either

at this price matched with supra tt fronts or ls430 fronts you can have awesome stopping power for under 2k

no

why are you looking so hard at the supra caliper , they are much heavier then the ls430 .. the ls430 are alum and are monblock vs supra steel and 2 piece

oh i see

well suggestion , you can easily sell them on the sc classifieds or supraforums and take that money and buy my ls430 setup which is ready to mount and drive


its alot of work to get the supra rears to mount , brackets have to obtained from hong kong and the calipers have to be machined and retapped just right to fit the brackets
