Default Wondering If any Big Brake Kit would fit?

I want to get a bbk but i have about a 1mm clearance with my stock brakes on. Is there any BBK that has the same width calipers as stock brakes? Thanks advance for your input

Most BBK calipers are pretty large.. Especialy Supra.. I think Rotoras might even be smaller than the Supra.. Anyways you might need a 5mm spacer up fron to clear a BBK..GL..

buy new rims, you don't want anything out past the fender or just upgrade pads, lines and rotors for better stopping.

I think your stuck man, new rims and brakes or a mild upgrade to the brakes without rotors. 1mm isnt going to help you with bbk... sorry

If you dont need brakes right now don't bother wasting money on new rotors, lines, and pads. Honestly if you are going to do anything just go to an aggresive pad and stainless lines with stock rotors when it comes time to do your brakes.

Slotted/Drilled rotors are really not all they are cracked up to be. Yes, in some applications they will have a performance upgrade but for the most part the loss of surface area with a drilled//slotted rotor is going backwards in performance. Granted slotted/drilled rotors look cooler but unless you are driving your car exceptionally hard you will get more everyday performance out of a standard OE rotor.

No, you will not be able to fit any big break kit with those wheels without spacers.

Default Spacers needed!

Yes, you will need spacers to make it happen!
