Those are not the upgrade version. Looks like NA Supra caliper from the pictures. A pair of good front caliper from NA is probably worth only $100.

The MK4 Turbo version front caliper has 4 pistons (2 on each side) and are worth $400-$500 for a good pair.

My opinion for upgrading: It's pointless and a waste of money using those as upgrades for IS or SC. You can use LS400 caliper as upgrades if you don't want to spend $600. LS400 can go for as low as $150 for a good pair.

They are the supra NA front calipers which are the same as SC400 and soarer TT.

Those look like the brakes on my car SC400"s but looking at the pads is throwing me off the SC300's pads look like those the the SC400's got a "V" shaped brake pads .I learned the hard way because i bought a an SC300 with SC400 calipers and SC300 rotors

I'm glad you posted these up, for the new brothers that get on here wanting to do a BBK upgrade. When I heard of another brother on here getting some MKIV BBKS from pep boys by giving them his old ones I was on it! 'Till I saw them! Do like I did Go to the junk yard and pick up a pair for $40-80! I paid $40!

I don't think these are upgrades for the 400's, the 400's have bigger calipers than the 300's tho I think.
