Attn Lex Owners... Cheapest Supra Brakes New!!!
Surfing online last week, found out you can order refurbished/rebuilt Supra TT Brake Calipers at CHECKER auto parts online store for $115.00ea!!!!!!! I think the rears are $135 go figure. These brakes go for $800 as a front pair!!!
I would put some 14" Procast Brakeman rotors with a 14" caliper kit put those calipers on all 4 wheels with a brake porportioning valve to make a Supercar setup for under $1000.00!!!

Hey I have some brand spankin new Project Mu brake pads for the TT calipers if you're interested. I was planning on getting TT calipers, but I got a FAT hook up on some LS calipers and decided to go that route. Let me know. You can email me at drft_n_sc@tmail.com
Thanks

Well from what I understand, the TT is a superior setup, but not by much. I think the TT is slightly larger. However the LS is lighter and cheaper. I was impressed with the weight of the LS in comparison to my stock SC calipers, HUGE DIFFERENCE. I just order my rotors and I'm polishing my calipers, so it will be a few days before I slap them on the car. As far as compatability, both will fit the SC, the LS will need washers or shorter bolts, and I think the TT will bolt right up. You will have to remove the dust guard for either set. And you will also need a set of wheels that will clear the bigger calipers.
