Guess I never updated pics with the BBK installed. Had them on for a year and a half now and cant imagine driving without them. Its very comforting knowing how well you can stop when you need it

What about the LS4 brakes for the rear?

What years fit ours and how do you all like them?

95-00 ls400 fit our cars. But just like the Supra brakes, you'll need a wheel with high-disk clearance, or run the OEM 17's with 15mm spacer.

You'll also have to either shave a bit of the tie-rod bolt, or get some roll center adapters (RCA).

I'm going to be putting on some LS400 calipers soon with the RCA. Can't wait to get rid of my OEM setup!

so from what i have read, if supra tt brakes are a straight bolt in, then brake kits designed for a supra tt should also be a straight bolt in
is this a correct assumption?

most likely used. It's cheaper. If you want new, contact Carson toyota for the TRD upgrade. It's the Supra rotor/caliper kit relabeled as TRD.

both. new from carson as others have stated but also used through many classifieds forums such as from here on CL, southsideimports.net, myis.net, supraforums, etc... I got mine from a member on seloc.net for a very fair price.
