Many have the Supra TT brakes on there ride. Do a search. Great brakes for the money. I have them and have been really happy. Good complete kit. They are huge calipers so you will need some hi disk wheels or at the least, some spacers for your stock wheels.

I know all about how great the Supra TT breaks and have searched enough on the topic. I'm asking about this specific kit by Carson. There are no details provided on who makes the rotors, pads, or lines.

I just got the kit from carson. It includes Rotora slotted rotors (not pictured), Stock new oem supra calipers exactly like the pic, and stock toyota pads, with goodridge SS brake lines. Service was excellent with fast shipping. Difference is like night and day.. I just ordered rotora rears with axis pads. My 18x8 oem gs430 wheels needed 5mm spacers, so i ordered the H&R from options auto salon. The brakes fit no problem just like stock. you have to cut a small piece off the dust shield to clear the caliper but its super thin and easy to cut. Just make sure your wheels clear , i thought 18x8 would clear no prob but had to borrow some sapcers from a friend until i get the hub centric H&R's.

So it includes 4 SS lines as pictured? Front and Rear?
Also will my OEM 18" G-Spider wheels clear the brakes? I think they should since these wheels fit on the new 3GS.

That kit from Lextreme is front only. (in the DIY writeup he specifically mentions that the rears will not fit, which other threads confirm.) I think it does include SS lines. You can confirm that with David. Basically what he told me was its the exact same kit as a TT Supra, so any wheel that fits that application would work. Not sure about OEM wheels. Might require a spacer.
