remove the dustshield or you will have clearance issues....also make sure before you install the calipers that your wheels will clear without rubbing or you may need spacers.

How do you check if your rims would clear the calipers? Is offset the key? Someone mentioned trying to see if the rims are meant for "hi-pad" brakes - pretty impossible to figure out if you ask me.

1. Make sure you have rims that clear. Make sure you have Hi- Disc rims or you can measure to see what fits.

2. I would recommend you purchase a supra spare tire , as your stock donut or full size will not fit, in the event of an emergency.

3. Make sure the brakes have all the parts included ex: rotors, caliper pins, Supra TT caliper bolts or shorter bolts as your stock bolts are too long and may hit the rotor.

4. removing the heat shield is key also, as it gets in your way of the installation.
