a98pmalcolm Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hay all. I was on the phone to my local motor spares place to ask if they can get me a rear brake caliper for my 1993 TT manual jap spec and they said there 2 brands for my car. Does it matter which one it is? Are they the same? i did say to him its single piston but he said both of these brands available are single piston. One has a brand with AKE and the other is one with a symble oe something. Any ideas people? Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The J-spec Supra was fitted with 2 brake options. 1. Smaller Brakes Front 2pot Rear 1pot 2. Larger Brakes Front 4pot Rear 2pot If you're not sure which yours are post some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 there was a change in them.........i'll try and find the thread............if i recall correctly the piston etc is all the same so I suspect they are fine to use it was someting about the frame/slider that changed.

Guigsy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Maybe a facelift change or something or one factory had a different supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Seba is right, there offereing 2 different brands of single pot piston rears. They found the parts via my Reg so they know that year is was so regarding face list and pre facelift it shouldnt be an issue but TBH with imports its never 100% correct on the system so thats why it may be giving 2 options. Thanks scooter for looking The only pictures i have of my rear calipers is this (sadly its not to clear): http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9681/dsc03501ni.jpg http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/6416/11082009297.jpg If the rears came always the same package as the front this is the front if it helps: Thanks Paul Edited March 17, 2011 by a98pmalcolm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Problem solved. Went to the motor spares place today and one was duel piston lol. so there was just 1 that was single piston. Single piston was more expensive suprisingly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
