Why not just use the Supra brakes all the way around?................to each his own, I guess. Yes, it is definatly possible........just make a braket to bolt between the caliper and the the mounting flange. This is the same way most Big brake upgrades mount on the front!

You will loose your e-brake. The rear stock rotors on both the supra and the SC have a brake drum on the inside which is what the e-brake uses to hold the car in place. You are better off getting supra's all around.

MrJohnTan,
I think he just wanted to mount the calipers on the back, and keep the rear rotors in place? I agree though, still just go with the Supra upgrade all the way around, prolly cheaper in the long run?

maybe? but yeah, he's better off going w/ the supras or even leaving the stock SC300. IMO its not worth swapping out the rears if you only have the front set of supra brakes since 80% of the braking is done by the fronts.

Comparison TT rotors to SC300
Anybody have the specs of the size of the SC300 vs Supra TT brake rotors? The TT has a rep as offering some of the best oem brakes on a car. What makes this so?
