Pete Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Trying to figure this out...I thought all the later spec VVTi TT Supras had the bigger brakes? I know my RZ-S did and pretty sure most of the ones I've seen did. Were they still J Specs with an upgrade option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have seen loads of late RZ-S with J-spec brakes mine came with Bigger brakes though so it must have been an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I thought all VVTi (97 onwards) came with Uk spec 4 pots as standard. I have never seen a VVTi car with J specs. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbiemercman Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi MATT RR, Is there an upgrade kit available for the brakes upgrade and how much do they cost ? Herbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianhid Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You can just buy the callipers, discs and pads from Toyota, they bolt straight on after you cut the backing plates a bit to clear. Would suggest you consider buying new rather than second hand though, as they'll probably need a refurb and that'll eat up most of the saving for going second hand (or in my case, end up costing very slightly more than new).

j_jza80 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think all vvti RZ models have the larger brakes, but RZ-S cars regularly have the small brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi MATT RR, Is there an upgrade kit available for the brakes upgrade and how much do they cost ? Herbie. yes buying the OEM big brake kit is a sensible idea if you have jspecs and running bpu or moe. They are not cheap, best to get a quote from toyota, if you know a friendly parts manager you can get a better price. I bought mine of a forum member who had bought them new, never fitted and then sold his car, so i picked them up for a very good price but that was just fluke and good timing! PM J_jza80, he got some brand new from toyota but i cant remember what he paid, but I remember he got a good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The larger brakes were optional on the RZ-S, but standard on the RZ. If your RZ-S has the bigger brakes they were paid for by the OG or they were upgraded later in the cars life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
