Sure... MkIV Brakes are better than MkIII brakes. But are they enough better to offset the cost?

Spend the money right the first time and do your brakes RIGHT! Give AZP a call and see what they can do for you.

The TT calipers are extremely heavy and the surface area of the pistons is too much for our master cylinder. Go with one of the 4 pot Wilwood kits or 6 pot for for even less surface area.

For the brembo you must use costum brackets


And for the 300 ZX calipers you can use the nightpager brackets and there is a few people selling them are have a set to duplicate

I think the JBT is the real deal butt i don not know anything about the price for those kits

Check

Its look more sexy then the wilwood kit

I think I still like the willwood kit better as far as looks though. That is just me. I do like those JBT also though. How many pistons are they? and are the pistons on both sides or just one?

4 piston or 6 piston so both side just like the wilwoods

I do not know the price for the JBT so maybe the wilwood kit is a nice deal

O do not see the JBT listed on some website with price

Maybe the gone e be the sme price as rotora are something (not cheap)

I just looked at the picture again and duh, I am retarded. It is shaped to show the three pistons on this one side. Man am I retarded.


That is what I was thinking.

Have you tried a set of GOOD pads and GOOD set of rotors? The OEM Rotor is 12''... which is pretty decent compared to A LOT of cars out there... Unless you have over 400HP or are tracking the car a lot, i dont see the need for some $1,000+ Kit...

Just my opinion...

meh, mkiv calipers on the front of an mk3 sets the wheel back in the wheel well, and it looks nasty. (unless said brackets were fabricated to fix that issue). i've seen pics, and was totally un-impressed.

Can anybody clarify if the braking system from a GTS-T will a supra with the night pager kit? They might not "look" sexy as those off a GTR, but from my own experience they are pretty damn good with a decent set of discs and pads and are dirt cheap comparison to the GTR system.
