1993-98

OEM brake line will be fine.

There are LOTS of information out there. The search function does wonder.

make sure you find some wheels that will fit under the TT setup. those calipers are huge so finding wheels to fit may be a problem.

that should be more than enough (maybe too much)

I've got some brand new from toyota supra Front calipers, new d/s rotors and brand new Hawk pads. Cost me about 1000. I'll sell for 800 plus ship, if you're interested.

Still don't think you can get all this stuff for what I offered. I would find out first. I've got some hook-ups too, and 1000 is about what I got everything for Let me know if you have any install ??? Definitely a great upgrade.
