silkoccy Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 I have a GS430 and waned to know if the Toyota Supra Turbo (94-98) brakes would work with my gs430 and if so how big are they compared to my gs430.. Thanks
Neo Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Are you talking both fronts and rear? The fronts will bolt on. The rear will not and will need custom brackets to be made. Now, the big problem is whether or not your wheels will clear. If you have OEM wheels, then the answer would be a No.
silkoccy Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 I am going with 20' wheels and and I was talking about both front and rear and what type of brackets of you talking about and do you know of any place in particular that makes those brackets Thanks
Neo Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Fitment - 20s will clear the rotor size. The big clearance though is the calipers. What you need to find out is if your front wheels are high disk. Then the shape of the spokes come into play and lastly, to a certain extent, the offset can be a factor. As for the bracket, I do not know of anyone who has done it on their own. I'm not implying it is not out there, I just don't know. There is a Japanese company named Night-Pager that has done the R&D to build a bolt on rear TT setup but it comes at the price of about $1k. Pretty steep. The problem is that the bolts on the suspension knuckle is in a different position than the holes on the caliper. You'd have to get a bracket made to attach the two pieces. There is also some machining of the calipers to make them fit right. Before you start asking me for details on the bracket, I have not done this mod so I don't have much more details than this and definitely no measurements. I've only read about it from forums and the translated Japanese website. Here's the Night-Pager website if you want to do more research. Remember it is in Japanese, so unlss you can read Japanese or know someone who does, you'll need something like babelfish.
JohnnyB822 Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 so what about on my 96 sc300 will the fronts just bolt right on and i will only need the caliper rotor and pad or do i also need the bracket from the supra too
