See I was trying to do that and a guy was supposed to keep me posted on brackets but he didnt sobi took it into my own hands no machine work just bolt on brembos with the right off the shelf parts.. and I found that there are some Mercedes Benz that come with brembos that have the same bolt alignment as our supras just need a spacer machined to fit but I dont have a machinist as hand lol... and im only doing this cause I refused to pay for the azp wilwood kit lol my cars a project and the calipers are siezed from sitting so this is my nickle and dime project... how much did it cost you for your rear brembo set up

Correct.
I'd love a full Brembo setup, but it's a lot more time and $ just to say they match. There are Chrysler Brembos that are basically bolt on 6pot 14" brakes, but the bias isn't too favorable even with the Evo rears. My bias with the Wilwood fronts is pretty decent though.

- You're using used calipers (at least rebuild them).
- Cobra R brakes are not full bolt on as they're larger than the normal Cobra brakes.
- The rotors won't work as they don't match the calipers.
- Brembos are notorious for striped hardware as they're pretty soft aluminum (all brembos are NOT created equal).
- The expensive part of the arz setup is the 2 piece rotor which is where you drop the weight. The arz setup is LIGHTER than the factory setup on our cars, while if you went this way, you'd be heavier because of the huge single piece rotor.

What wheels are you going to run? Going to have to be at least 17's (if not 18's) and you'll need to clear the caliper which will be the harder part.
I hate to break it to you, but i bought the ford focus brembo calipers thinking it would be a direct bolt on to the mustang cobra brackets. Well, they don't fit. The pistons on the mounting side do not clear the holes. I'm going through the pin of making my own brackets now, as the two piece rotors i bought were $750 on sale. So I'm going to make it work.
It's been a long time since i bought them, but here...you can have some proof i got it all.
