is the supra caliper pretty much a straight bolt on?
any custom lines or brackets that have to be made?
does the supra rear calpers fit as well?
and i have a first gen aristo,or this upgrade only works on second gen?

when you put on slotted or x-drilled rotors.. does it really matter which way the direction the rotors go on? I have seen them both ways in the pictures here and was just wondering.

yes it matters certain rotors are designed to work one way and not the other.

My StopTech 355mm kit.

These have 50K miles on them and they still have the original pads & rotors!

Hey Bob, considering that you are as **** as they come regarding the cosmetic appearance of your car (a good thing ), what did you do about the thin band of rust on the rotor that is around the hat?

I have the same brakes as you and can't stand that thin (about 1/4 inch) of rust.

The inner fins should flow towards the rear of the car when applied! That's what Rotora recommends for their brakes!

Thank's for the compliment! The wing is the(RMM) Rod Millen 3PC. wing. I love the combination of it and the UGO roof spoiler together! They both have that flare at the end. I've considered going to the JP(Junction Produce 3pc. spoiler, but have had second thoughts? If I decide to get rid of it, I'll keep you in mind!

Just got mine TT installed. They are sweet. You can't see them too well under my new wheels! Any word on if the supra rear calipers are direct bolt on like the front?

That's a negative.

But I'll be working on an adapter bracket in the near future.

I'll post if that project ever takes off.
