mini-e Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hi people, Just picked up my supra the day before yesterday and i just wanted to ask you guys does my car hav big brakes? Its a Jap spec TT 6spd (pics comming soon). Has 17" standard wheels and the spare is 17". So i pretty sure iv got the bigger brakes, but need confirmation...? Are these the same as the UK spec supras, and were these just an "option" on J spec supra's. Cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 They are definitely the UK Spec brakes, i think they were an option on J spec cars. They are not standard wheels though, they are aftermarket jobbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-e Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 I was thinking they had to be "big", as how could they possably be any bigger. They only just clear the wheels. As for the wheels, forgot to state that i have the std 17s, the wheels currently on it are 18s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Normally on a Jpsec they come with the smaller brakes and 16" wheels, yours must have had the option of bigger brakes and wheels. One less job to do though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One less job to do though I know, i had actually priced up how much bigger brakes was goin cost, over 1000 euro (ireland), so that one less major cost, Yoohoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 What have you got on the rears? There are 2 types, 1 pot or 2 pot, post a photo so we can idntify them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hopefully it has the UK style brakes on the back as well for balance... 4 pots at the front, 2 pots at the back, no better way to stop without going too crazy... Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
