sc300 and sc400 rear brakes the same?
quick questions, do these 2 cars uses the same caliper etc. i'm trying to buy a used one for my rear driver side. both are 93'...
edit: btw if i were to only replace one of the caliper do i have to bleed all four or just the one i took off?
UPDATE: THEY ARE TO BIG FOR MY SC300

sc400 = supra na calipers
sc300 has smaller calipers then sc400 up until i think 97 or 98 when they become the same.
Basically if you want to buy sc400 rear calipers, you need to buy both sides, along with the rotor and torque plate plus anti-squeak shims. Its a break caliper upgrade to put it simply. Might as well get something better then like tt rear calipers while you are at it.

Ryno - the sc300 turbo has the same brakes as the NA JZA80 supra
I would buy the sc300 calipers if you need to replace one.
me - sc400
brother - sc300
sister - jza80 supra na
funny how 70% of the 2 cars use the same parts

FYI anytime you take a line off of a car ,take off a caliper,open the brake system you need to bleed it. Air will get into the system and you will have a mushy pedal and lost some function of your brakes. Don't buy used brake calipers cause they could be ceased from the inside and you won't know it. If you sadly do push the piston out and put caliper grease on it to make sure that it does not cease up in the future.
