So, I've spent my hours reading old threads about the Supra brake kit and the LS400 brake upgrades to the point that I'm saturated. Not 100% educated,...but mentally saturated for now.

I was thinking very seriously of buying this front brake kit and wondered what you guys thought of it. http://www.suprastore.com/lexsupfronbr.html

I need a kit,...I was going to piece things together but I never really found calipers or rotors of stock supra sizing that I knew were good quality. I just don't know enough, nor do I want to spend $2500-$3500.

By the way,....I never found an answer/thread regarding whether we could get a larger rotor on the back. Did I miss something there?

 

i have a TT kit + Endless pads. love em! i mean it wont be as strong as the 6 pot kits but its way stronger than OEM!

also its direct bolt on after removing/modding the dust shield..

 

that is too expensive, you can usually source the kit in the classifieds for around $600 with everything.

 

The ls400 calipers are dirt cheap and light...plus, if you are not gonna take advantage of them (supra) then why pay more? You can get RCA and save the shock and still cost less than that kit.

 

but dont the Supra TT have more options for performance brake pads??

 

I'll go check out the Classifieds but I need me some brakes like right now. Been driving with heavy squeal for quite a while - in fact, I parked it and am driving a hoopty until the brakes are replaced.

Vwynn - i think you're right on the pad options.


Sam430 or anyone - what is "RCA" I've seen that abbv. a few times here now and I just don't know what it is.

 

RCA = Roll Center Adapters (aka Super Stroke "SS" Kit)

You will need front RCAs if you run the LS400 calipers because they will hit the steering knuckle....they run for $180 + shipping + tax + paypal.

 

thanks everyone. I found that kit in the Classifieds a few pages in, looks good.

Anyone have any input regarding the rear brakes and increased rotor size?
"I never found an answer/thread regarding whether we could get a larger rotor on the back. Did I miss something there?"

 

Call up steve over at Carson toyota and order the entire front TT brake upgrade kit for $800. It comes with pads, rotors, SS lines, calipers all ready to install and it's all brand new.

 

NO...if you intend to keep the oem rear calipers.

 

thanks man, I had that in my sights online.....it's showing $1000 there, but yeah, a nice setup for the money, I agree. http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1474

 

$1k is too much. Tell them to come down to reality. They were originally selling them for $699 back a few years.

 

x2

i remember a member trying to sell 2 BNIB kits for 700 each and couldn't sell them easily so forget bout it for 1200

 

Great Brakes..just to much from Suprastore. Do not buy from,,Nothing but headaches from there customer service.

 

that is one hefty price, my brother had those on his gs and it didnt seem to me to make much a difference.
