Default Wildwood Supra Big Brake kit on JZS147?

Hey guys has have a chance to pick up a used Wilwood BBK from a MKIV Supra for a great price and low miles but before I drop the money I wanted to confirm that the kit will fit the JZS147 GS300. I cant remember who posted or in what thread I saw it but I am pretty sure someone mention that they were using the MKIV Supra BBK front and rear. I am pretty confident the kit will fit because the stock brakes bolt right but If someone can confirm it fits I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance!!

Have you confirmed your wheels will fit over them? Do they have high disk fitment.?

Often an unexpected extra expense to deal with (and/or spacers which aren't ideal)

That is something I have not confirmed. I am running an XXR 521 18X8.5 +25 in the front. I guess I can ask if he will let me test fit them or find a printable template to use.

Great find on the template, that should work nicely

The spoke design and what's called 'disk fitment' for the wheel are the most important thing (vs the width or offset) in terms of clearing the brakes.

If you have a stamp on the wheel it might tell you what your wheels are.

Here's a googled up post on another forum that shows the difference

TRACKMKIII, something I forgot to mention in my response above. I had the night pager 25mm RCAs when I had the mkiv calipers on my car. I just spoke to Andy at AZP and you may be the other 1gs guy who called him. Be aware that you may need some thing of that nature. I needed a 10mm RCA when I did the LS400 calipers on my wife's 2gs

Yeah I talk to Andy at AZP on Thursday. I actually spoke to him about the EGR Block off plates and then we talked about his big brake kits too. I was aware that RCAs were needed for the LS400 brake upgrade but from what I understand you don't need them for the stock Supra calipers.

True. The mkiv 4pots are a tiny bit shorter than the LS4's
The wilwood superlites are big. Not sure if your going to pick up someone's 6a's... Or 4pots. Either way I'm excited for the results.
