I think you better check if you have the rotors on correctly. If I am correct, you may have the rotors put on the wrong side. It looks like you have the right side rotor on the left side of the car.

Size of the TT Caliper
Jacob,
I remember that you said you shaved the calipers to fit, I think we have the same offset on our wheels, but before I do this, I'd really be curious to know what the width of the caliper is. My wheels still have a good amount of clearance on my stock brakes right now, about 1/3" to 1/2", are the TT calipers that much wider/thicker around the rotors than stock???

GS4fun,
From what I have seen, the direction of the holes is different on some cars. On most supras, the holes "flow" in the opposite direction. But I have just looked at some other super cars and the holes are in the same direction as JacobT. Now I am not too sure. I will give SupraTRD a call about it tomorrow.

I have several people told me the same thing about my rotors were reversed. But I have "L" and "R" etched on the hat area of the rotors. I put "L" at driver side and "R" at passenger side. I'd say it all depends on the rotors vent design.
Johnny,
You need at least 2 3/4" clearance from rotor surface to spoke edge to clear SupraTT claipers.

there are two ways of looking at it. JacobT's setup gives him better braking, its how i have my rotors too, the top hole hits and then the others after, this makes the pad grip the rotor harder and cools it. The other method is for more cooling but a bit less braking. its putting it on the other way, this way makes the heat flow away from the rotor but it doesn't provide the same clamping that the first method does. This is what the installer told me
