get some ss lines also. Did you also get the mounting bracket or can you use the ones from the stock brakes?

i would think you need a braket to fit them? not sure but i think. steel brake lines would be nice but a braket is the only thing i can think of.

on the supra tt calipers they are direct bolt on to the gs , no brackets req and the stock gs calipers are floating design the supra are fixed design


what you need is stainless lines for better pedal feel , you need a dot 4-5 brake fluid because of higher heat , you need shim kit , you need anti rattle clip and of course a goos slotted or plain supra fit 13in rotor as far as brake pads , stay away from ebc greens , they will fry your rotor , if you are somewhat of a aggresive drive get the new ebd red ceramic pads make sure its their new ceramics , i have them , jcobt has them and they really work well


other then the above you need to trim the dust sheild but you are good to go

Look at the pic, everything you need to complete the TT brake system is there. Of course, I had the EBC Green then and they are EBC Red Ceramics now.

No they won't fry the rotors but due to the Kevlar compound under high temp. and big contact surface. They will leave spotty deposit on rotor surface. These spots are the causes of front end vibration. After switching to EBC Red ceramics, those uneven deposits were gradually shaved off.

you will need a fitting kit from toyota a shim kit and pads and you dont need abracket.. it bolts up to the stock assembly on the GS atleast the 40 i no of.. and a SS line would be nice.. and a Supra TT rotor...

The pad spacers should come with the pads. They are there to make the squeeking sound if your pads are too thin.
