Sorry Tony, I know I said that I would sell these to you once I have them off my car (months now) but have pushed that off for some time. If at that time you still need them I will cut you a killer deal.
But the rotors are different all the way around on these cars.
Brake lines are the same as far as I can tell. Some have mentioned that the TT lines are a tad longer. But I have not experienced any issues of stretching or risks close to that.

Not sure if one exist. But the links above are the same as if you were installing on the SC430.

I know this is old, but is the SC setup similar to the GS400 setup. I want to swap over my Endless brakes.

Thanks,

Johnny

Swap was a piece of cake. Took around an hour once I remembered what I was doing.

I had to get used to driving my SC with BBK.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I was talking to a friend of mine who has sold his Soarer and has a set of Supra TT front brakes and rotors that he originally wanted to mount on the Soarer.

I told them that I'll be interested to take it off his hands only if its a simple direct fit to the SC430.

Anyone got any pictures of this setup.
