finaly i got a true answer from him.
this is original email from him.
I am very disappointed to say that these are not Brembo rotors. The distributor who does get real Brembos for Honda/Acura/Nissan gave me false information. These are simply OE replacements that are drilled/slotted to Brembo specs. I'm sorry to have led this on for so long without checking for myself.
Regards,
Tony
sorry guys for all this mess,i'm glad that with your help we find out that is not BREMBO ...
ahh i want it brembo rotors.

guys,
we have been thru this before. steve even called brembo and informed us that "BREMBO DOES NOT HAVE OEM APPLICATION FOR THE GS". if brembo does offer such, steve would be the first to tell us.
i remember there was a guy selling these so-called drilled rotors. he wrapped them up w/some brembo printed paper, and yah, only the paper are brembo marked.
the supra tt rotors are only ~$70/side each. or steve also offer some nicely drilled rotors for reasonable price. i would have more confidence with products that steve offers-he always checked out for us first.

I just recieved my SupraTT brakes w/ the crossdrilled rotors and SS lines from Steve yesterday... I will say that the pics he posted DO NOT do those cross drilled rotors justice...They look ALOT sweeter in person..Also, 12.6" is WAY bigger than I anticipated! The boxes with the caliper, pads, rotors, and lines weighed just short of 90lbs if you can believe that....I located THE man for powder coating here in Austin, so I will be getting rid of the nasty green looking factory caliper paint and SUPRA logo..Im gonna try and have the same guy put Teds stickers on and then a clear coat that will be chemical and heat resistant..something better than just clear spray paint......Steve is the man, make sure you check with him first for the stock crossdrilled replacements...I have a feeling I will want to change my rear rotors at some point just to match the look of the front..

tiny,
that sounds great
good to hear someone is trying on the supra tt break up pkg. but i thought they are 12.8"?
because the stock non-drilled tt rotors is 12.8"; unless i remember incorrectly. well, 12.6"(320 mm) is still impressive. RUF 996 turbo uses 330mm rotors.
it is the rotors and the calipers that contribute the weight. as i said, steve only sells us the GOOD stuff. also i though the factory supra tt calipers are red? you got the green ones?
also did your order has factory tt pads? or did you upgrade even more to TRDs? i think the factory ones should be adequate for me.
when they are done, please show us some pics. i would like to see how your tech guy powder coat the calipers.
since you upgraded to the cross-drilled rotors, the entire pkg should run ~$900, if you do not mind me asking?
thanks Tiny.

When you pull the stock ones off, let us know how the weight compares from the stock to the SupraTT's. Also, let us know how the braking power compares to stock. I think a lot of members are interested in a brake upgrade including myself. Also some pics would be nice.
Thanks,
David GS400

gs4will...Whats up? How are you?
Actually the SupraTT rotor is 12.6"(320mm) Read the below thread, it also contains the pics of EXACTLY what I got from Steve...... Also, see where the studs come through the rotor? (the part called the "hat") I plan on painting JUST that part to match the "soon to be" Silver calipers....the actual disc portion where the pads rub should turn silver(wearing off the CAD coating) in no more than a couple of weeks worth of driving...I stuck with stock SupraTT pads also. I wanted the longest pad life with the least ammount of brake dust. Plus, as far as performance and $$$ goes, I figured Im going so far beyond what I am using currently that It wont even matter...(side note:look at the nasty GREEN color of the stock pads....but wont be visible)
As for price, it was $889 with the cross drilled rotors($922 after shipping) You will see that again in the below thread... Still cheaper and better than the RMM upgrade..
David GS400- I will post the difference in weight between these and stock. I am very curious too....
Heres a comparison for you: 18"SSR w/stock brakes VS. 20" Equip w/SupraTT brakes??? Do you think the added diameter and weight of the 20" wheel will greatly increase my stopping distance? Or, will the 20" w/SupraTT brakes still be far superior to the 18" w/stock brakes?? Think I know the answer but...
I am going to try and post pics of my car before and after the brake upgrade.(with the SSR's)...And in about another month when my Work Equips and Greddy front spoiler finally arrive, I will post some more pics..Cant wait.. read below....Talk to you soon, Tiny
