Can anyone direct me to the Supra front brake swap thread?, tried doing a search but was overwhelmed by noise.

It's in the FAQ section at the top of the 2gs forum. It's a great upgrade to the braking system

THE STEPS.

1. Get the calipers off the last generation supra TT. You can order them rebuilt from RockAuto.
2. Pads and rotor for last generation Supra TT.
3. Stainless steel brake lines for you GS
4. RCA blocks Figs Engineering are my choice. There are others available.
5. Get a grinder or cutter to cut your heat shield.
6. Unbolt everything and put the new parts on.

If you can do a brake job you can do this swap easy. Now the part you will have trouble with is wheels. They will not fit stock wheels. I think the 3GS 18 wheels will work.

others chime in...Correct me if I'm wrong but there is about 3/4 inch more the Supra TT brakes protrude outward than the stock calipers. You need some serious wheel spacers or some concave wheels.

You don't need rca's to make them work. Everything else you wrote is spot on

Oh thats right the RCA are for the LS400 swap. (thats what I have) its a lot less weight.

They arrived today and they are huge compared to stock, might be my imagination. Will measure fitment tomorrow.

Not your imagination, they are huge compared to stock. Wait till you get em installed- night and day difference.

Got any pics? This is next on my to do list.

Ztram

Verified fitment today, will post pics as we remove and replace.

Word to the wise, the Rock auto "Supra TT" calipers are not Supra calipers, they are 2 pot floating SC300 calipers.

Here's a picture of the four piston rebuilds

They are massive, I just received mine too, I hope they clear my 19 inch wheels lol. What pads and rotors are you going to go with Ztram??

Ztram

Stop tech slotted rotors and Bendix/Honeywell ceramic 'Stop' pads

Besides Erik, has anyone else confirmed the 18" Split-Spoke IS350 wheels fit Supra TT Brakes without spacers? There seems to be much more conflicting info on wheel fitment with the Supra brakes vs. the LS ones. Hopefully these have thinner spokes that clear the TT supra calipers.

Ztram

Those 18's look pretty much the same as the set I have, currently I anticipate no problems with fitment , will post pictures when I have them.
