Here is a shot of one of my endlinks mounted up.
And here's a shot of the newly turned and painted rotors and caliper. Oh, and my coilover is hanging out in the background. I threw in a before shot for comparison...

I can't wait to hear what you think of the coilovers. How long do you think till its on the road?
Kenny's car won't be on the road until Spring, maybe he might bring it out if the roads are clean and salt free but I don't know how the weather is in Washington.
Then again, everyone who has kept up with this thread would kill him if he decided to take his Supra out in the snow.

Good job on the links. I was just looking at the ones JE--SIKKY makes for the Nissans. I want to change the front ones that came with the White Line sway bars. If JE can't come up with a set for mine I would buy a set for the front from you--if you have the extra pieces necessary.
Also, can't remember what sway bars you're using, BUT, JE--SIKKY is also making chrome moly sway bars, was thinking of letting them use my White Lines as a template to make some for the MK III.
Brakes look great, nice work. Are you using Goodrich bradded brake lines or stock? And do you have the Beech MC brace?

That's a good question. I've decided to install a tubular manifold so that means that my IC Pipe and Down Pipe routing will need to be modified. So, that will be dependent on work and weather.

Every now and again, we get an "ok" day to take the car out. But, then we have to contend with the roads being sprayed with some sort of anti-freeze chemical that they spray on the roads here. It's almost as slick as ice! Fortunately, they don't use salt here. Only that spray stuff and a sand/gravel mix...
Don't worry...my soup doesn't see snow!

Ha ha...I don't even know what Sway Bars they are!! They look like S/T's. They came with the car so I'd have to go through all the receipts to know...
Yeah, if you end up needing a set of end links just let me know. I have a ton of material left over. The only thing I'm short on are the Heim Joints; but, that's easily remedied.
I'm running the stock brake lines for now. I have a set of SS one's from my 87; but, I think I'm just going to wait and get a complete Big Brake Kit.
So far, the best kit I have found is this:
Wilwood 4 Piston Calipers
Slotted Rotors
Brembo Pads
Goodrich Lines
Mounting Brackets
For $1050 (fronts only)

Is that the kit that Andy sells at AZP? I know I asked him for pricing on the "big" Wilwood 6 piston calipers & 14.2" rotors with the rears w/ parking brake and they were going to run around $4700. for both sets.
No. The supplier I talked to is out of Oregon. If I remember right, he used to work for Horsepower Freaks and decided to go out on his own. I've had a few conversations with him; but, never confirmed that story.
I asked Ian about his turbo manifold, it was a SSAC 321 that he had ceramic coated. They are out of N. Carolina, fairly inexpensive as I recall, talked to them a long time ago, you might want to check them out.

^Is that kit with stock slotted rotors or an upgraded?

The only thing I could find was old Supramania and SupraForums threads. One of them led me to a website; but, the pictured manifold had it located back toward the firewall.

There were several rotor choices. All were bigger than stock and varied in price. The most expensive ones were two piece slotted.
SupraRon;1664195 said:Great progress Ken. The links look very well constructed. And I love the brake setup. Looks great just as suspected!
Ha ha...thanks Ron!
Yeah, the links are pretty stout. Waaaay overkill compared to stock!

Link to that kit? The ARZ kit is still number one for me. Top quality is what Andy at Arizona designs.
CajunKenny;1665119 said:
Looks like a good solution. Hope you have them on and tested by the time I'm ready!
Wow, that brake kit is a pretty good price considering I will have about $700 in my mustang cobra big brake kit.

Or maybe stock should've been made that way to start with.
Doesn't look like you had too tough of a time getting them off. Waiting for more updates...

Here's his ebay store with some "Pre-Packaged" deals. **Warning** This will really make you feel bad about your current kit.

No, getting them off wasn't bad at all. A couple of the bolts just spun; but, a set of vice-grips took quick care of that!
I know...I know... I've been slow going... It's just CRAZY over here! Kids in sports...work...work...work...wife...kids...wife...wife...wife...!! :biglaugh:
ohh geeze, I just had to look too, . Maybe its not to late to sell out? haha, hopefully they will work out well for you.

Hey Kenny, was talking to John @ JE today about brakes. He was touting Revolution about their brake kits. He has a set of fronts and rears on his RX7 drift car.
