Default Brakes

I can't find the thread...

I want to upgrade my SC400 front brakes to Supra Twin Turbo brakes.

I need a source...most sources on the east coast I know only do German cars.

I live in NJ...any help would be great!

Thanks

Joe

You need a source? For what? Go to Toyota and buy the breaks there, get steel break lines and viola, you got all the parts. Go to any performance show and tell them you want them installed or do it yourself. They're not that hard as far as I have seen.

True, but you won't really get them anywhere else. All the parts for the front breaks are below 1000 bucks. The front breaks we have in our cars are really the breaks that Toyota Supra TT has in the rear. I will ask my buddy if it's possible to switch them to the back. As far as I know, most people do only front.

Try Jay Marks toyota.
Ask for Jeff Watson.
They have near wholesale prices on the exchange, and he knows exactly which parts to get.
My complete front TT setup ended up costing less than 800 including the SS lines and pads.

PS... Thats not true about our fronts being the same as the TT rears... Rear brakes have a large hub for the parking brake assembly, and therefore the rotor is much different than on the fronts.
