Correct, Supra TT will NOT fit without some serious work with hacksaw and a dremel.

What Henry and Dave said. I think the Rotoras may fit but with possibly a 5mm spacer. Although some members have said that the Rotoras need less clearance space than the StopTechs, from looking at the template measurements, it would seem that the StopTechs need less. I'm not sure what is going on there.

I have not seen a StopTech 332 kit on stock GS 17s but like Henry, I have seen in on stock IS 17s.

StopTech offers the 13" rotors with two different rotor / caliper mount design combinations I believe, one which can fit in stock 17's - it does this by making the rotors hat and caliper sit back inside from the rim more to clear I believe, BUT I also understand it means you can't lower the car more than an inch since the caliper might then hit the suspension maybe.

With big enough rims you can put the "go as low as you want" (up to 2.5" drop I believe) 13" or 14" setup.

I bought my StopTech's (for big rims) through ProLexPerformance. Maybe Mike there or StopTech themselves (who were very helpful on the phone) could explain your options to you.

that's it, bit got it, i remember now. yes there are two version of the 13" kit, the one that fits the stock 17 you can't lower the car too much (which i think it's kinda stupid) coz' it will hit the suspension.

andrew, i think you are really much better off just go and ask PLP or stoptech for a template and check that with your rims

You can get the template right off the StopTech website.
