Question Rotor & caliper question

I'm looking to upgrade the rotors and calipers on my 01 GS430. What are some good brands to get and still be able to ride on 20s?

It all depends on the offsets of your 20's. Do a search in this forum on brakes.

If you are looking to get a Big Brake Kit, any of them will work on 20s. It just depends on the wheel shape and the high disk fitment of the rims.

yeah it completely depends on the design of the wheel and whether ti clears the brakes or not. basically if now you don't have at least 1" to 1 1/2" space from the stock caliper to the back of the spokes, chances are slim

and choices? brembo, stoptech, ap racing, rotora, project u, endless, tons of choices for you

And the economical Supra (TRD/RMM) and LS caliper upgrades.

yup, project u is super super expensive but they are pretty much the real king in racing brakes in japan too. endless are good but they are second to project u

and yes, a set for the gs (supra)? above 4k
