Default tt brakes question

i just got my tt supra front calipers from NAPA today, well the right one. the left is coming in next week. alot cheaper than what people are charging for them here as well. $186 out the door+a one year warranty. i'm on a college budget so im going to have to stick with duralast rotors and brake pads for now. but my question is that how bad of a brake bias would it be for my car? its not boosted or anything. completely stock 5 speed. i dont have the money for the rear setup at the time and will only be running a front set up for now. i was assuming that since i wont be going 100+ on the freeway all the time my abs should compensate for the most part correct? i'd like an input on this if possible. oh yeah and the calipers came with the supra logo on them as well, looks like factory!

You'll be fine. Remember the bleeder valves should be at the top when installed.

The duralast rotors/pads should be totally cool if your not racing.

no, no racing. only occasional spirited spurts. do you have a similar set up? whats your review on the swap? also just checked out your ride, are you on stock suspension?

Wow $186 for both front calipers? Thats pretty good considering what I paid for mine. The swap was pretty easy and made a significant difference compared to the stock setup. Just remember what RyanV said, keep the bleeder valve UP when you install it.

Post pics of the calipers when you get a chance. I thought I remember reading some people saying they were getting NA brakes even though they paid for TT brakes.
