I'm about 20-25 North of west palm the brakes are a great beginner upgrade.... The feel,firmness, and bite are a lot better than stock... With the EBC red stuff and Brembo Rotors I think this is a great combination.. Good Luck..... I beleive i saw some in the classifieds last week..

Hey Tony,

I al;ready have the brakes but was waiting for some cash to get the wheels. Do you have some pics of the wheels. we need to come and meet with you one of these days maybe a mini meet

For me first upgrade is TT brakes up front, then HR springs and KYB struts, and then the DONZ wheels
I heard the TTbrakes are a direct bolt on? Is that true?

thanks for the quick reply

If you want to put a pic in a thread:

Go to the gallery and click on the thumbnail that you want.
When the image is the large picture in the center of the screen, right click on the picture.
Then scroll down to the bottom of the box where it says properties
Then highlight the www. portion and click copy
Then right click in the thread box and paste the property
Then highlight the portion you just pasted and at the top of the thread box you will see a little yellow box with what looks like mountains in it. Click on that and then you are done

If you are doing more than one picture it is best to have two CLs open with one open in the gallery and one on the thread you are posting

hey.. i work at toyota.. so i knew wuts in there plus i just did the upgrade on my car... you'll need :
Supra TT Calipers (2)
Supra TT Rotors (2) whichever brand you want or even stock
Supra TT Brake Pads (Front Set) whichever brand also
Supra TT Shim Kit and Fitting Kit (Front Set) - when i ordered rom carson toyota they didnt send this to me...
thats pretty much it.. if u get the kit from somewhere it will or should comewith Staibnless Steel Lines too.. and if ur on stocks rims... you'll need a H&R 15mm spacer thats all......

P.S. you'll need to unbolt /cut ur brake shield

so... this means the supra tt caliper sticks out 15mm further out than a stock gs caliper?

also, does a 15mm spacer require longer wheel studs for the stock wheels?
