Hey guys i love all the insight you guys put in to this site and hvae found a lot of great stuff. But just a few questions i am looking for your opinions. Do any of you have the Iridium plugs from denso or ngk and if so are the worth the money to upgrade? Also i am looking to change the brake pads on my 92 300 and want to get the best performance out of my stock brakes. what is the best kind?

For street use I hear the EBC Green Stuff pads are really good.

Default supra brakes

I wanted to get the supra brakes but i do not think that the capilers will fit inside the rim of a 92. dont you have tohave a 17 in rim to make that work. is no one using the iridium plugs?

Default Supra Brakes...


I've read that some 17s will fit with Supra Discs and calipers, but it's recommended to get 18's. So if you already have 18+ wheels, then go get some supra brakes. Get some second hand ones from a wrecked Mkiv Supra. Super Cheap, but I know most of you would rather buy brand spanking new.

As far as I know the stock NGK platinums are good if you're an "everyday driver". how much are Iridiums over platinums?

Toan.

Well it is the plan over all is the supra but right now i need to do the brakes and i am rolling on the stock rims so no can do.
I would be getting them at dealer cost i was est. about 8 apeice so it is still a lot but i looked them up at retail it was ~ 100 dollars. so i was just wondering if they are just hype.
