I have the supra bbk.. straight forward and simple.. there not as nice looking as the LS ones but they still look good and do the job perfectly.. I guess they fit larger rotors as well according to "mademedoits" post below..
personally I wouldn't want to deal with putting RCA blocks on front and then trying to balance height from front to rear which will obviously require you to purchase coilovers if you don't have them.
But yeah if you want to play with height don't get blocks just to do that... instead save and do it right at once, youll be happier that way! but yeah if you like simple straight bolt on mods like me, go for the supra tt brakes
goodluck

I have Supra brakes and HIGHLY RECOMMEND LS 400 brakes. The calipers are slightly smaller, so you can accommodate more wheel sizes. you don't have to worry about the finish stripping form the heat and pressure of constant braking and dust. LESS BRAKE DUST and you won't have to worry about custom shims to get rid of the annoying squeal. And they are much more readily available and less than half the price for a full set of fronts.

Gene (Bacardi) did mention that LS400 calipers are about 5lbs lighter..
supra calipers - I guess I got lucky with them clearing my wheels.. I have about a 5mm space between caliper and spoke with deep dish wheels.. I have a coat of primer spray with a light coat of metallic silver spray paint, hasnt peeled off at all even after many 5 hr drives..
as for the dust, mines do let out a lot of dust but I guess that's just because of the type of pads.. I have had them on for about 1 year now and no squeals or anything, I do hear clicks but don't know what that's from.
wouldn't they add up to the same price once you purchase the RCA blocks?
