Hey I just installed supra TT front brakes. The 4 piston calipers w/metal master pads and cross drilled rotors. These things are HUGE. Anyhow..it's a BIG difference compared to the old lexus 1 piston calipers I had before.

I recommend this change for anyone who wants to improve their peformance. Getting the supra TT brakes is a MUCH cheaper alternative to 3500 hundred dollar brembros.

I agree 100%. The Supra brake upgrade is one of the most enjoyable, best bang-for-the-buck upgrade I have done. The only reasons to go to an aftermarket brake setup is because:

1. You want it to look pimp and having $100's laminated into your hood might look tacky.

2. You are making well-over stock hp and road race the car competitively.

Supra brakes with STOCK rotors and a quailty aftermarket pad is more than sufficient for 100% of street driving and 99% of track use. The cross-drilled pads are nice for street use since they look "racier", but will only crack under severe use on the track. If you fall into that 1% that needs the bigger setups, you shouldn't mind spending the multiple hundreds per rotor and per set of pads. I know I dont fall into that group, at least not unless I One-Lap either car.

Haven't had any problems with TT-size slotted rotors though.

Slotting havent produced any cracking problems that we have seen.....Havent produces any shorter stopping either. But they definately look cooler. Hard to beat those $60 stock ToyCo Rotors.

So, how much did you wind up spending on the upgrade? Will the Supra Brakes fit within the GS400 17" wheels?

Doubt it. i think you have to have something as wide as the Supra wheels and I don't belieev any OEM Lexus rims will work.

They won't fit on factory 17's on the GS. TOO BIG

Anthracite SC

Yes..these are the best bang for the buck

I do have the stock rotors and will use them. It's just that I got a great deal on the cross drilled ones and would just match the rear ones.

It is SUCH a difference..these TT brakes. Wow..if I actually had POWER..I could appreciate them more =)

I got the front brakes for 475 bucks...for the set

Wow it sounds great....
Could you tell me where did you get your brakes at?????

mrshabo

i have some 17's that i'm gonna be putting on the winter. i'm not sure if they are gonna fit do you guys know what u need min for them to fit?

sc300tt

Well, I wouldnt change out the x-drilled ones if you are just gonig to drive it on the street as they should be fine, I was refering to them being a problem with a car that is taken to the track for 15-20 minute sessions.

I bought the brakes from another member on the forum who had em for his supra but upgraded to aftermarket brakes and gave me his spares.

I haven't seen TT brakes in that price range anywhere...usually in the 800s with labor

mrshabo

i just bought mine for 400 shipped. THe front and rear calipers including pads and bolts. I could have gotten the rotors too for 75 bucks but i'm getting slotted cross drilled so i told them i didn't want their rotors. This is all used of course. 52 thousand miles off of a 98 supra tt.

mrshabo

hey u guys know how much the slotted cross drilled brembros run for new? i can't seem to find the price on them. i believe these are the ones you have on your car anthracite
