Default First gen GS3 BBK - Custom

I just put the LS4 swap on the wifes GS430, Its effin insane.

Well Im tired of overpriced BBK kits for the 1st gen. I didnt want to do the standard Supra or LS4 BBK because thats just how I get down. I dont like to follow the leader.

So ive been planning this for a while, but after procuring the parts and drawing the bracket on acad, I couldnt find a place that would CNC the part. Everytime I found someone that said they would do it, they flaked out. So I finally got hooked up with one of my wifes clients. They laser cut my bracket as a two piece deal.
I picked up a set of 2 Piece 13" wilwood rotors and hats. on fleebay a while back (I dont feel I need a 14") then a set of thier basic billet superlite 4pots.

All thats left is to measure for brakeline length and get some TFE hose and ends. I'll post progress shots and test results if I remember.







The brackets

Put it this way. If I wanted to use a 1 piece rotor, I could do the kit for under a grand.

Ive only done the mockup thus far. All I need now is brake lines.
I also have the rear supra tt setup for now, till I have time to explore doing a wilwood 4pot setup back there also.

It should fit most. Thats why I used such a high offset rotor. I havent tried a 17" since I dont have one, but the IS350 wheels on my wifes GS430 fit over it.
