Did the EBC Supra brake pads work?

I still haven't gotten them. They were out of stock and had to order from their supplier in England, and then that whole volcano thing happened so there is no ETA as of now. I'm just using stock pads for now until those come in and I can play around with them.

One last finishing touch.



And in case you didn't hear, the TT pads didn't fit. They were too thick for the rotor to fit in between.

Hot pink! Gotta love it. Looking good man, you will love this BBK. BTW, I have an extra set of LS400 front calipers and LS400 front rotors that I am considering selling (1998 LS400). Just trying to clear out my parts bin. Email if interested: draytonwebb@yahoo.com

Did you get any brake pads yet? I couldn't find any pads for the track, for the LS400, but I got in touch with Porterfield, and they can custom make pads. They did a set for me with Raybestos ST43, which is purely a track compound, but I'm sure they could make anything. Ran pads at the track over the weekend and they were SO AWESOME. Huge improvement over stock pads. I'm in no way affiliated, but I can't recommend them enough.

Awesome! I got some EBC yellowstuff for the TT brakes and tried to make them fit, but they were too thick. I'm pretty sure Axxis makes pads, but these look pretty good too!

Ya on the passenger side I had to grind down a little bit on the caliper. No biggie though. Took me all of thirty seconds with a dremel.

You need to grind 2-3 millimeters, almost 1/8th of an inch for the metric-challenged people. Easy job, not even worth mentioning.
