Brake system OPTIONS (BBK)
okay, im interested in purchasing a new brake system for my 99 GS, and wanted some opinions as far as which one to choose,
1. Supra TT Front 4 piston caliper kit (w/ slotted/ nonsloted Rotors) /
2. RM (Rod Millian) 4 piston caliper Front Brake kit (w/ 12.6" Slotted Rotors) /
Opinions Please,

are the supra bbks a good set up i know there are better ones but for what they are , are they a good setup, my rims are the l-tuned superturismos which have like 1.5 inches between the stockies and the rim, so i belive they have enough spacing, correct me if im wrong, so i wont waste time and money, thx

I'd look for Neo to chip in here... From your sig you have the 17" L-tuned rims, not the 18s

17" is not a problem, but i don't think it will clear your wheels. it doesn't have enough clearance. neo had the 18" ltuned wheels, he barely clear the ap racing brakes (not safe to drive), and the supra caliper is still a tad larger than ap racing.
so i think chances of the supra fitting under your wheel is slim

I believe the Stoptech 332 mm BBK will clear a 17" wheel, grab thier template and verify fit. Template can be found here with instructions on how to use it.

Your best bet is to go with the StopTech or the Rotora 13" (332mm) setup. Use the template to verify but they will have the best chance of clearing the wheels.
The TTs are nice for braking but they are heavy. They will be better than stock but don't give all the advantages the other BBKs do. If you look into the Rotoras, make sure you look into the setup with the 2-pc rotors. This is where some of the weight savings come from. The StopTechs come with 2-pc rotors. Unsprung weight is always an issue, especially with the diminished power of the 300s (compared to the 4x0s).

thx guys, as far as power goes or braking pressure, which one is better, i guess more bang for the buck, if i get the stoptech or rotora what about pads and stuff, cause i was thinking that if i get the supra ones they use stock pads, and can get them cheep from a hookup i have but i dunno about the other ones, ???
