Yes
I'm interested too. Can we get a Group Buy going? Anyone?
I 'll call Steve & see what he says.

Is this for the front & rear calipers? rotors?
So what is the price?

As Aristo V300E mentioned the rears will require a new bracket which is custom and sold only by Netz Toyota Japan. Possible and I think under $400 but I'm just doing the fronts. I'll let someone else do the rears. As for group buy, Steve gives us really good pricing. On something like this I doubt he'd save us more than $10 on group buy so why bother? If you want them give him a call and order. It was under $600 for the calipers, clips and shims. Pads I'm going with Endless CC-X.

Here is a link from Club Aristo about someone who has done the conversion. They do mention about using the JZA 80 Supra rotor with the Celsior/LS430 caliper and that it is a littler larger than the original rotor.

I was looking in the TRD Catalog and they do have this as a kit too.. The kit is supposed to be better then the TRD Supra Caliper since this is a single piece and it's stiffer..
This Caliper will take 323mm rotors.. The Supra rotor are the same size but I am not sure if they share the same offset...
Moreover, my sources tell me that this caliper is thinner in profile then the Supra.. This means that there is a lesser chance of a need of a spacer or a thinner spacer depending on your wheel offset...
Does anybody have the pricing for the LS430 Calipers?? The TRD does come with everything but the kit retails for over $3000USD...
I rather piece it together if I can using the stock LS430 caliper at a savings..

That price is great.. Wonder if Steve can knock something off from that price.. It's definietly affordable then..
I feel more comfortable using this knowing that brake disc/pads will be readily available for years to come.. Just drop by any dealer and ask for the parts...
The only hard part now is the Bridge that is needed to connect it to our stock set.. Does anybody know what material are the bridge made of??
