TT front brakes on the Rear?
Do you guys think it is possible to make custom brackets to use the TT or LS front calipers on the rear? what problems may arise? How do the brembo brakes kits work on the rear with the hand brake?
Lemme know what you think?

That is a krazy idea. Imagine the lockup on the rear calipers, you will be screeching everywhere.
Theres a reason why brakes on the front is always large compared to the rear. 80% of the braking is done on the fronts. If that balance is broken, then the braking will be very funny.

The hand brake is actually similar to a drum brake on the inside of the rotor (havent looked for myself, but "supposedly") thus unlike some cars you dont have to have the ebrake function on the actual caliper. Anyway, I dont think the front disc have enough "hat" depth for the ebrake to function. You might could find some rotors that would mount correctly, but then I would think the caliper would be too far foward. So in theory with correct rotors and some custom brackets you could probably fit them, although it would be cheaper and easier to buy a kit.

Just so you know the stock supra rear rotors are the same size as the fronts and a direct bolt on. Given they are only 2 piston, but its alot less work and in all honesty will still provide more then enough rear stopping power.

yeah they are the same... odd. i ordered rotors from i-rotor. i told them i wanted TT fronts and stock rears. well they sent me TT front and back. so i either need to find TT rear calipers or make them send me the correct ones.... BLAH.
