Mine are rebuilt. Just be sure it has all the parts (shims and anti rattle spring). Mine didn't come with them and ended up costing me like 70bucks more to get those from Toyota.

I figured but was not sure. I thought maybe they changed the design or just made the non turbo version. But if it is the same I am game for this mod.

I've used remanufactured calipers from Napa multiple times on cars that have needed calipers replaced and have never had any problems with them. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Napa calipers for the Supra upgrade, actually that's what I'll be using if I do this since I can get a real good discount at Napa.
