Ran a test drive today still bedding them in but stopping power is greatly increased.
I purchased calipers and pads from advance auto and slotted stoptech rotors from rock auto. Rock auto sent the wrong calipers and pads, they claim it is their suppliers fault.
Make sure the calipers have four pistons, the ones I received were reconditioned Toyota and work very well
Do you feel like you can now hit the brakes later and still safely stop better, or perhaps sooner? For example with the stock brakes you feel like braking from 60mph feels the same as the Supra brakes from 70mph?

They're better than stock in any situation. About a week after I did the swap I had some drunk kid stumble out in the road in front of me and I was able to stop much quicker. I would have plowed through him with my stock brakes.
I would like to add to this thread. I just installed my 1998 toyota supra twin turbo front four piston calipers and way bigger than factory stop tech slotted rotors. with stop tech ceramic pads. Very easy install along with trimming the dust shield and bending them back at the top and bottom. the braking performance is literally night and day. I bed the brakes in than took it to 80 and stood on them and the front dipped down like never before. Absolutely worth it. I paid 80 a piece for the front calipers and 206 for the stop tech pads and rotors from autoanything.com. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought them from advanced auto parts here in Texas. They were special order but got them a week later and they accepted my factory calipers as cores. Not sure all places will do that though.
The GS/SC 2 Piston calipers/rotors are very similar if not the same, as well as the N/A Supra. No the SC's didn't have the larger Supra TT rotors, the Supra TT rotors will only fit with the Supra TT calipers.
If you want a larger rotor the only way to get it is the TT or LS brake swap.
Rock auto probably got the calipers remanufactured from a Supra N/A and not TT.
The set that Rock auto sent were two piston 'floating' calipers, meaning the pots were both on one side, they would bolt up to the rotors they sent but were not TT calipers, I returned the calipers and picked up a set of 4 pot TT calipers from autozone. Fitment was identical big difference in braking
