Last I checked they didn't. If you want to switch to LS400 BBK front calipers, I may consider selling my extra set. email: draytonwebb@yahoo.com

I just checked out that link, im fixin to lose my F'n mind. It just said $113 for each fronts w/ the core charge. I paid $289 a piece for mine @ the toyota dealership w/my discount like 5yrs ago. Why would anybody do a LS brake upgrade if you can get these for $226 new (referb). Im mad.

Okay so i'll get to your question as soon as you answer this noob question. What's the difference with the tt caliper and the turbo one? Doesn't tt stand for twin turbo? I checked out that link too on my own and it says for "turbo." That's why I said we didn't carry the tt caliper. Well the answer to your question is yes, we do carry the turbo supra caliper. I did a price check on it today with my discount and i can get it for $47 a piece. Beat that. I'm going to return my ls400 rotors tomorrow and get me the supras.

Are these the Supra Mkiv TT calipers? Don't forget you will need the rotors and brake pads as well, and all the brake caliper hardware, mounting bolts etc.

Yes they are. Calipers are about $47 plus the core and rotors are around $25 (not drilled or slotted) employee pricing. I haven't checked on brakes yet. But I get brakes for a pretty good price too. I'd say with everything, I'll be looking at around $400 roughly... 200 for all calipers, 100 for rotors and 100 for brakes... Is that good?

Sounds pretty good because there are people selling front and rear calipers for $800 painted. but all i know is that i'm going to think about getting these because i was told that the TT's are sharper then the LS i don't know if it's true but if anything it wouldn't be a bad idea for the LS in the front (if they are the same) and TT for the rear since the LS don't sit without mods..

LS400 BBK fit great on the fronts with no mods. If it were me, I would put LS400 brakes up front (they are very light in weight calipers) and put the Supra calipers for the rear. That is a great set-up on a SC. Hit me up if you need a set of nice front LS400 calipers, I think I'll go ahead and sell my extra set. draytonwebb@yahoo.com

Last I checked they were out of TT calipers (at least one side). I bought the last set. Its been fine btw... over a year. Its just some rubber seals.
