Possible oem BBK option.
I have had terrible luck trying to find TT rear calipers for any reasonable price so i went looking for some other options and i may have found something. The cadillac ATS has Brembo 4 piston fronts and 2 pistons rears that appear to be nearly the exact same size as the Supra TTs.
Fronts :
Supra TT -
diameter = 323mm
nom thickness = 30mm
ATS:
diameter = 321mm
nom thickness = 30mm
Rear:
Supra TT:
diameter = 324mm
nom thickness = 16mm(not certain on this one)
ATS:
diameter = 324mm
nom thickness = ?? not sure either, but i assume they would be pretty close too the supras.
Going by these numbers, we should be able to use the ATS brembos on our cars with the TT rotors and possibly pads as well, the only thing required would presumably be a custom mounting bracket and brake lines. Another bonus would be that these calipers look pretty good, and being that they're from a GM vehicle they're pretty cheap, i've seen them go on ebay for around $400-500 for a full set.

That says it fits the SC430, not the SC300/400.

Took me awhile to find that on their site...

Another option is the 07-11 GS350 calipers and rotors with a custom bracket for the bottom caliper mounting point. The top bolts up.
I just completed this upgrade on my 01GS430. The GS350 rotors are 334mm while the LS400 are 315MM. I tested fitted them with the brackets on the SC and they fit great.
Pics of the setup on the GS.
These are the bracket needed. I have the drawings if anyone know a good Machine shop willing to make them.
