umm, you will need new brackets. who can make one that's strong enough and can handle the tremendous force on hard braking,t hat's up to the shop. imho that's a pretty dangerous mod.
plus after you increas the rotor size with pushed out calipers, braking will not be balanced

a welldesigned bracket/relocation kit, if available, would be only slighlty cheaper than getting used Supra TT calipers .... so if you want to save cost, search for an used set

Just playing devil's advocate. I hear what you are saying though.

btw ... i tried thinking about developing relocation brackets, but since the size of the standard rotors and Supra rotors are not big enough, only about 1", so not enough space for the bolts ...

you mean relocation brackets for the rear GS calipers or .... lol
Btw .... the SC rear calipers and disks are likely the same as the GS ... so any GS solution should work on the SC as well.

glad to see that i have some responses on this. the reason why i ask is AEM makes a big brake kit for hondas that relocates the caliper using a larger rotor. i know its a honda and not a lexus but i thought that the same concept would work...kinda like the brackets for the LS 430 calipers made to work with our GS's.

I am pretty sure the OLD SC3/4s have the same brake mounting spacing as the Supra TT for front and rear calipers.
The GS only has front TT spacing. The GS rear is different than the old SCs, which is why TT brakes don't bolt on.

The concept works, but no one makes em for the GS to my knowledge. I've looked.

I agree that the SC300/400 are the same as the old TT ...

Also, I do have a bracket design I'm working on to fit the TT rears to a GS. I know what you mean that the bolt space is close, but I figured out a way.
