Talking My new DSR Monoblock big brakes!

Since I found this forum I caught by the modding sickness
And then it went worse after I found out that my local tuning shop is also the distributor for DSR and could not refuse to his great offers

So he ordered for me a DSR roofspoiler and a set of DSR Monoblock big brakes.

AND THEY JUST ARRIVED

Made in Japan . And, these calipers are huge! At least same size as the Supra TT calipers, but probably a bit bigger Will post more pics after I have them installed

How much did the kit run? Are the calipers heavy? They look like the Celsior(LS) calipers. Same braking as the TT but in aluminium for better weight. Did they have other colors than gold?

These calipers are much lighter than the Supra TT .
I am not sure, but these calipers are the same as the TRD Monoblock, and uses the same rotor size as the Supra TT.

I got them for a very good price, and am not allowed to disclose it , but I think the net enduser price will be below USD2,000.

Can you weight the calipers for us before you put 'em on? We've got good weights for several aftermarket setups, would be great to add another one to the mix.

How big are the rotors for that setup? Looks very cool.

Nope, he did not give the details(see below), just an impression... which is why I asked . We need numbers on rotor size and caliper weight!!!

I will install them next weekend (or earlier if I can make so time available ), but before installing I will definitely weight them.
I keep you posted on the install progress.

I don't own a postal type scale or I'd weigh my new calipers, going on this week. I don't think they'd register on a 'human' weighing scale.

Bit -

Couple of easy options if you're able

1) got a food scale in your kitchen? Sometimes they go high enough

2) go to the local post office or UPS shipping area (like Office depot)
