THE STEPS.
1. Get the calipers off the last generation supra TT. You can order them rebuilt from RockAuto.
2. Pads and rotor for last generation Supra TT.
3. Stainless steel brake lines for you GS
4. RCA blocks Figs Engineering are my choice. There are others available.
5. Get a grinder or cutter to cut your heat shield.
6. Unbolt everything and put the new parts on.
If you can do a brake job you can do this swap easy. Now the part you will have trouble with is wheels. They will not fit stock wheels. I think the 3GS 18 wheels will work.
others chime in...Correct me if I'm wrong but there is about 3/4 inch more the Supra TT brakes protrude outward than the stock calipers. You need some serious wheel spacers or some concave wheels.

Verified fitment today, will post pics as we remove and replace.
Word to the wise, the Rock auto "Supra TT" calipers are not Supra calipers, they are 2 pot floating SC300 calipers.

Besides Erik, has anyone else confirmed the 18" Split-Spoke IS350 wheels fit Supra TT Brakes without spacers? There seems to be much more conflicting info on wheel fitment with the Supra brakes vs. the LS ones. Hopefully these have thinner spokes that clear the TT supra calipers.

Those 18's look pretty much the same as the set I have, currently I anticipate no problems with fitment , will post pictures when I have them.
