Default Supra TT Brake Upgrade

It looks like I'm going to go on this route and finally upgrade those POS stock brakes and dump the continously warping rotors.

One question for the mechanical savvy guys out there. Would the LS400 stainless steel brake lines work with the Supra TT calipers/piston?

Also, how easy is it to replace brake lines.. I know how to do the brakes and rotors.. But I've never replaced brake lines before.

i dont think that application work, I've already looked into it with Lexkost. And we determined that the knuckle is a problem. Lextreme has already made it work with the Supra TT,

how much bigger are the TT brakes then gen1 stock???? A friend of mine upgraded his GS they look huge. but someone else told me the were only about 0.25-0.50 bigger. I was wondering if maybe that person was refering to the non TT brakes.

The TT is about 320MM and much more resist to warping that stock 91 disc. It was much thicker.

that's correct, the ls430 calipers won't fit on the old ls400 brakes. the brackets are different.
