pistons don't mean anything..
what is the diameter of the 3000gt VR4 v MKIII Turbo supra?
if they are the same. then it is not an upgrade.

Your better off going with dodge magnum calipers/ rotors if your going to do all the work.
mitsu/dodge same stuff but the magnums have larger disk and are more common.

Since theres no bolt-on OEM upgrade in that regard, no matter what other car you'd use, it'd have to be modified to fit. I personally was considering an E90 BMW hub for the 1 series' 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears, and I also really like the Ellipsoid 162 wheels from the sport package 330is and 335is, though that would probably require a wheel no less than 18"s.

Agree with hvyman. Here is the link to the group buy. This is the last page where one of the vendors still has 4 sets ready to go.

This is not true at all. The VR4 caliper are 4 piston fixed position where the MKIII calipers are singal piston sliding which allows for alot more flex in the caliper which reduces stoping force.
Something I rarely see mentioned in the Supra community when discussing BBK's is the weight of the brakes. If you're upgrading, get something proven to be both more powerful, maintaining good bias, and something that weighs less than stock if possible. 
The only reason more pistons is an help weight, force distrobution(more pots usually mean widder pads), heat dissipation(more surface area ='s greater dissipation).
