Default Tom's calipers?

Does anyone know if Tom's makes calipers for the 2nd gen GS? I know i have seen coil overs, bars, brake pads, but no calipers. I have someone that says he's got some Tom's pads and calipers for sale, but i've never seen calipers from them. Can anyone confirm?

THanks,

Jeremy

Ive seen them for the IS. Only thing I have seen for the GS has been guys using the Supra TT calipers and putting TOMS decals on them.

Tom's racing is a very small company, and they buy a lot of their stuff from other companies.

They used to rebrand the Supra TT calipers, and they also have used ALCON in the recent past.

I think you're pretty wrong here with Tom's racing being a very small company. They are pretty big all over the world because they are almost a co-branding company with TRD. Tom's Racing is what Spoon is to Honda peeps but in this case, they are for Toyota..
