Yea, But A LOT of lexus guys use this BBK.
More Info:
This kit is designed to fit all MA70 series TOYOTA SUPRA (5x114.3 stud pattern)- It requires the fitment of wheels with a diameter of 17inches or greater (although due to the size of the caliper, they will not fit deeply dished wheels or wheels that have dished in centres). They may fit other vehicles in the Toyota range, but I do not know - the manufacturer can be easily contacted at www.d2racing.com/content/contact & quote the part number: AH8-140-TO23-8, they will be able to tell you more info.
*THIS IS THE FRONT KIT ONLY.
The D2 8 Piston Brake Upgrade Kit are made from lightweight 6061 aluminum alloy and anodized to avoid color loss.
The D2 8 Piston/330mm brakes will fit under most styles of 17' inch wheels.
These are Taiwanese brakes; D2, K-Sport, XYZ, Ect. they're all the same.
I've known about these for a while, was going to buy them. But, it looks like 91T breezen' will be getting a PM in a few months asking him for Pro's and Con's.

Zazzn: If Tom got a good deal, of course he wants to keep it to himself, I don't blame him.
Man, thank goodness I did not think that way!!

Shit! I could've saved $30.00!:icon_razz I will be updating with feedback, once I am past the recommended pad break-in miles. As of right now, all you have to do is rest your foot on the pedal at 60mph, and the car slows down...FAST!:love:
they look real perdy. any body know of a kit that just upgades the calipers i feel 12'' is big enough, plus 13's wolnt clear the valve stems on my 17x10 deep dish wheels (the stems are in the middle facing in)

those are pimp, i was thinking of picking up front & rears when i just stumble appon 3/4K for teh car
Those do look good. They are about the same size as my stockers. Any big brakes for a mk3 is a plus and for the price ++
I have had them on mine for a while now, work great, no problems at all,
paid £500, they were used for a 1000 miles on an M3
rotors were brand new he never fitted them,
unfortunately they would not fit behind my wheels using the 356mm rotors
so I used a 330mm one instead
there is about 4mm of caliper clearance

What size is your wheel? If it is an 18 inch rim...the 355mm rotor should fit!
What should be the clearence between the rotor and the rim to clear these brakes? 2.5 inches should be enough I think...
Well, they already paid off! On my way home from work early Tuesday am (very dark road) pissing rain...a little cat ran out in front of me, and my Supra stopped almost instantly! Very little pedal pressure necessary, a little sliding, probably just because the tires aren't great. I'm a cat lover, so not hitting the little guy, was a great thing!
Still working on the break-in according to the instructions, but I can tell they are going to inspire a little more driving confidence.:icon_bigg

Figgie- yeah, that's who I was thinking of. I wasn't in any way knocking Tom's brakes, just curious as to whether or not they actually put some thought into the kit. Thus far, it seems like they have.
Their coilovers are known to be junk with terrible valving, spring rates, etc... That's why I was surprised to see a decent looking kit coming from them.

Well, we had our PacNW Centralia meet yesterday, and I made a couple of short, fast pulls, and ask a little more from the K Sports than previously. Very happy with their performance so far! Very little pedal pressure necessary to haul the Supra back down to legal speed, and no fade or pulsation, even after repeated applications. Pads are pretty dusty though, but it's a reasonable trade-off!:icon_razz
So far, so good!:icon_bigg
