The Supra big brake upgrade is probably the most popular, but the trick is finding wheels that are wide enough to fit the brakes under. OEM Supra rims look good IMO, and will work great.

yeah i was thinking the exact thing, but i'd like to go a little bigger (size does matter jk) no i'd like something that will lock up a little more....but yeah the supra caliper upgrade is one option.

i think brembo makes a kit for our cars...or rather for supras...but i would guess they would fit. Might be kinda pricey and you might need bigger rotors but im sure you'd enjoy the excessive braking power

The CL member Ryan has an aftermarket setup on his SC. See: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=86132 . I don't know what they are, or how high performance they are, but shoot him a PM, and he'll probabaly let you know what he's got.

Supra (12.77 inches)
StopTech (13.07 inches, 13.98 inches)
Brembo (13.07 inches, 13.98 inches) (4 pot)
Endless (no idea on sizes) (6 pot)
and I thought Wilwood had something for us but don't see anything on Wilwood's site.

Stillen/AP Racing sells a big brake kit for the SC/Supra I think its 6 pot 13" ot 6 pot 13.5"

the Supra brakes usually will hit the spokes of wheels with incorrect offsets/too small



Supra brakes are a really nice upgrade though

from the looks of it he is, except the crossdrilled/slotted rotors.

supra brakes are probably the best bang for the buck. thats just if you dont have the 3g's to spend on monster size brakes.
