SUPRA break kit
I was wondering if the OEM SUPRA break kit will bolt directly for front and rear on my GS.
If so, what year SUPRA and,
What do I need to make this work?
Also, are the SUPRA's rotors bigger than the GS3'S?
thanks for the help?
Anyone have pics>

I have Supra front brakes on my car. The rotors are bigger (just under 13") with larger 4 piston calipers as well. They will bolt right up to your Gs, you need to be sure that your front brakes will clear the much larger Supra calipers, not all wheels will.
I have *heard* the rear calipers bolt up as well but it's really not worth it for the $$$ as not much of your braking comes from the rear and the Supra calipers are not much different than the stock Gs rear calipers.
As far as the upgrade you will notice a big difference in braking, especially from high speed.

Do you guys know how much thicker the Supra front brakes are compared to the stock GS? I have Zauber Gettins and it looks like there is a lot of room to add a BBK but I'm not sure. I tried to measure the caliper to the back of the spokes and it appears there is about 1.5" gap.

well what you need lettuce is the supra brake pads, supra rotors, and the caliper itself. and maybe the hardware kit. thats about it, but im not sure if you have to change the brake lines.
i have the calipers for now i didnt have wheels to clear them so i did not bolt them up.

I just ordered everything for a 1998 Supra Turbo.
Calipers, rotors, pads, shims, and wheels that'll clear the calipers. You can use the stock brake lines but doesn't fit perfectly. There's a "hook" (sorry, hard to explain) that just barely doesn't fit.
yes, bigger.
You're welcome?
