Guest AlmightyJu Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm a little confused as to what brakes I have on the rear of my apparently 94 NA supra (thats what the log book says! but it is a L reg), I was looking at these: http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/2307/toyota/black-diamond-rear-brake-pads/pp425.html but I took the attached photo (it was a rush job this morning so sorry about the the angle ) and it looks more like these: http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/2323/toyota/black-diamond-rear-brake-pads/pp132.html and then I can only guess its 291mm diam for the disc from this http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/10622/toyota/black-diamond-rear-12-grooved-brake-discs/kbd559g12.html Does anyone have any info or can tell me if thats right without me needing to take the wheel off to measure? I'm sure mines a JZA80, never heard of the MA70. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Bieber Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ma70 is a mk3 supra bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlmightyJu Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ahh well its definatly not one of those! its definitley a mk4, I just found this http://www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk/contents/en-uk/d11851.html which shows the right size pads with the 307mm discs. from this thread - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?249089-Supra-Brake-setups&highlight=brakes it looks to be right so I'm guessing thats right just odd why theres the square pads and rectangular pads, I'm guessing the big brakes have the squares?

Dnk Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) I would call your local Toyota dealership, i get genuine o/e brake pads and discs cheaper than in the dcperformance links youv'e added. Take a better photo of the front & rear calipers from further back and it'll be easy to tell what you have, my money is on j spec 2 piston fronts and j spec single piston rears Edited January 7, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The pads in the first link are for UK spec rear callipers, yours are J spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) The pads in the first link are for UK spec rear callipers, yours are J spec.Some confusion in that link... illustration of the "UK" pads that need 17 inch wheels, and text that mentions the 16 inch wheels that only fit with "J-spec" calipers. Probably just the wrong pic, since they also list http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/2306/toyota/black-diamond-rear-brake-pads/pp425.html for 17 inch wheels, but you'd need to double check. The picture in the original post shows a "J-spec" single piston sliding rear caliper.

Guest AlmightyJu Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ahh I think its to do with J spec and "UK" spec mix up, mines a J spec, almost certain its going to be 1 pot back and 2 pot fronts, I'll give toyota a ring and see what they get I'll try and get some better photos, but its tricky with the wheels I have since they cover a lot but from the photos in the sticky thread on brakes in the tech section its looking like 1 pot for sure Thanks for the help everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Be cheeky and ask for as much discount as you can get, you can get up 25% on certain parts but it does depend on how nice your local dealer is and how cheeky you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostbuster Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If it helps anyone the discs are either 307 mm or 324 mm, well that's what the parts guy told me! Why and which sec is which I don't know, but mine is an import and it's 307mm discs. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Its whether you car has 4 piston fronts and 2 piston rears (both have opposed pistons) or 2 piston fronts and single piston rears (both with sliding caliper) An import can come with either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
