Default Supra brakes conversion (info needed)

Someone told me that the brake rotors & calipers from Toyota Supra’s fit on Gs 300/400. Is that true? Can someone post a diy on making that swap please?

You literally just bolt them on.

Just be aware your stock wheels are likely not to fit over them unless you use a spacer.

tons of threads in this if you search, probably some links in the faq

I heard LS400 brakes are as good and usually much cheaper without the "Supra tax". Might look into them and what's involved in fitting them.

LS400 require a minimum of a 17mm RCA or you'll hit the tie rod. Also the supra and LS400 calipers only bolt up to the front. Rear pattern is different
