fairly certain they r supra's rears. since ours (gs series) brakes will bolt right on the sc why wouldnt the supras bolt right onto the gs?

1st gen GS and SCs bolts up.

for our GS and SC430, the fronts bolt up but the rears will need a bracket.

They're both right. You can use the calipers from the USDM 93-98 supra TT.

I can't seem to find the details of this swap.

Is it simply rotors and calipers and supra bracket? Simple bolt on like my 2000 Buick Park Ave Ultra from the stock 12" brakes to the Bonneville GXP 13" brakes? Simplest bolt on affair I have seen. You can upgrade the C&H Body GM cars from 11 to 13" brakes as fast as you do a brake swap.....

Can one run the GS caliper on the supra bracket? Is there a reason to go with the harder to find Supra caliper? Other than cool looks?

Pondering the swap, but need 17 wheels first...

There is no bracket for the supra caliper. It is integral to the caliper itself. And yes it is just that easy! Just like the GM swap. The only part the two assemblies share are the bolts for the caliper.

May as well take it one step further and get SS brake lines.

So, should I buy stainless lines for the 2GS, if doing either the LS400 or Supra TT front upgrade?

Does anybody know what the thread size is that goes into the hard line? (if so, the guy at SilverMineMotors.com said he can make the lines for our car, on demand)

Lastly- Does anybody know if it's 10mm or 15mm spacers needed for the stock (5-spoke) wheels to clear the mk4 Supra TT calipers?

For the LS40 brakes on the 2GS, I keep seeing at least 15mm. Just wondering if it's actually (slightly) LESS when running the Supra brakes ?

Looks REAL NICE, bro.

What size spacer are you using to get the stock wheels to clear ?

I'm assuming I'd probably need the same (or SIMILAR) size spacer to get the '98-'02 (5-spoke) 17" 2GS wheels, to clear on my car...

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Calipers, rotors, pads, shims, and wheels that'll clear the calipers. You can use the stock brake lines but doesn't fit perfectly. There's a "hook" (sorry, hard to explain) that just barely doesn't fit.


yes, bigger.



You're welcome?
