silverminemotors bbk
Looking for the most cost effective way to get the BBK saw this and was wondering if anyone has purchased from them or has any experience.
Is this a good deal? Also it looks like I could buy everything seperate for less than the price of the kit? Better options?

It's definitely better to piece the kit together yourself. Costwise, it won't be much cheaper, but you get to select better parts. Personally not a big fan of the Posi-quiet pads and the drilled slotted rotors. Went with the Centric high carbon blanks as they're less prone to warping than any slotted/drilled rotors. After repeated drives up and down a local canyon, and some braking so hard that I made the pads smoke, the rotors resisted warping like a champ. For the pads, I'm planning on switching to the EBC red stuff as I have read good reviews from different forums. The posi-quiet ceramics don't work so well when cold and fade pretty badly when too hot.

TT's all around! i love mine, need to be bled cz they're squishy right now but damn do they stop hard when i put the foot down. i had an xB which weighed like half of this car and that took forever to stop compared to this. the TT BBK is bigger than the LS400 BBK also. you can even do Z06 calipers with ISF Rotors with a small bracket addition. someone on the build threads made those and they look awesome!!!

just a heads up with the autozone parts.
be careful! many people have returned their stock sc/na supra calipers for the core charge.
Before you leave the store, make sure the supra calipers you get are the 4 pot ones, not the 2 pot.
Like someone already said, autozone employees cant tell the difference between the 2.
