lawrence.benz Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I have an SC-300 and need to know if the best and most cost effective way to go in a brake upgrade is to replace the stock calipers and discs with SC-400 parts. I have heard Supra parts work but are somewhat hard to find. Thanks, Lawrence benz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 yea or if you want a 4 piston caliper without the supra brake price you can buy 2nd gen brakes and rotors but you might need to run wheel spacers so the rim clears the caliper.

ANY OPINIONS/IDEAS ← Yes, I was shopping for discs and saw the captions on 300 discs being one diameter and the 400s being a larger diameter so I would like to assume they are bolt on giving the 400 calipers fit the 300 backing plate. I put ss brake hoses on a 914-6 but not on my SC-300. Now that you mention it my brakes are a little spongy and there may be the source.
