I am running LS400 4POT front, Supra Turbo 2POT rear, Supra Big Bore Master Cylinder + Slim Booster

Performance, pedal feel, and brake bias are spot-on.

My only complaint is that the LS400 pad selection is very limited.

how hard is it to replace the master cylinder?

All master cylinders I've replaced on SC's have said 1 1/16" bore stock, which is supposedly what the TT Supra master is. Just an FYI. NA Supra Master Cylinders are supposedly 1". I haven't seen the OEM masters side by side, so I couldn't tell you if they're actually different. With LS400 front/Supra TT rears and SS lines my pedal feel is perfect and braking power is as good as nearly anything on the road course I've encountered. I can lock the brakes up with ease with 275 front and rear R-Comps.

I have encountered fade/boiling on some tracks when driven at 100%, even with Castrol SRF, at 175RWHP stock GE. I did not have ducting at the time. I plan to duct first, and if necessary switch to Z06 calipers up front.

i gotcha, i have TT calipers all around and i'll be getting some drilled rotors and SS lines next. maybe later Z06 calipers up front and TT fronts in the back would be awesome. but i think i would need a master upgrade or something then cz thats 20 cylinders then.

LS400 with Drilled rotors up Front and SC300 with Drilled rotors in Rear

I will probably upgrade the rears to TT at some point

Gotten my SC with Wilwood calipers in the front and rear.
I think the rotors are Supra TT.

I am running Supra TT calipers in the front and rear with stock Toyota TT pads, Centric 120 blank-face rotors up front and OEM TT rotors in the back. Brake lines are Goodridge braided stainless steel all around. Brake fluid is standard DOT 3.

Tires are BFGoodrich Comp2 235 front and 255 rear.

No further caliper upgrades planned for my car. I may try Hawk HPS pads or a Porterfield compound later on when there is more power.

i'm looking at DBA brake rotors now, they look awesome with their kangaroo paw pattern center. looks like i found my rotors. now some SS lines and my brake kit will be ready for installation
