I've never heard of the GS caliper swap, but I believe the rotors are the same. Everyone moves over to the LS400 brakes instead though

Hey man. If your wanting to up grade to a "BBK" Big Brake Kit. Then you have a few options. (1) Is do the LS400 brake's. These are the cheepest setup. You can find them for around $150-$300. They are 4 piston calipers & are direct bolt on, but you have to get the LS rotor's also cause they are bigger. You also have to remove the SC300 dust shield, cause the bigger rotor will not fit. (2) Is the Supra TT brake kit, which will cost you around $500-600. The rotor's are 12.7" & the calipers are also 4 piston. (3) Is Stoptech or Brembo BBK & they will run around $1800-2600. If all you are looking to do is, just change out rotor's to a drilled & slotted rotor for looks. Then just go to www.irotors.com & you can buy 2 front rotors shipped for like $80.
