Brake calipers

Good people of the world, i recently stumbled onto a website, http://www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk, where brake calipers for both n/a and turbo supras can be bought for pretty good prices. What I'd like to know is has anyone bought any of these parts, are they as described, are they new or reconditioned units or simply just a cheap knock-off designed to see you into a stout tree? Many thanks for your valuable time.

thats very very cheap!!

thats very very cheap!!

Well if thats the cream of the input i fear im doomed

lol sorry mate

i know if you get them from nick they do come with the supra logo on?! mayb these are copys?

Im not sure if they are genuine as i looked at the celica Gt4 as the 205 version uses similar brakes to the UK Supras and they have a raised "celica" on the calipers and none of these do.

I could be wrong though as they may just be refurbished.

Even still. Very cheap indeed.

That is cheap, but why does the picture of the 4 piston calipers only show 2 x pistons ?. They do look like UK spec 4 piston calipers but why only 2 pistons ?

They look like they do have the Supra logo on them, to be fair - looks like you just have to peel off the "reverse backing", or whatever it's called.

Thing is... If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

http://www.tcbparts.co.uk are not that much more expensive

ST205 GT4 Front £128.00inc vat so i doubt the supra ones will be much more and these guys are spot on. If they dont have you want on the site just ring them.

Edit - tcbs actually work out cheaper.

What im thinking is this, the supra logo is under the sticker cos if ya hold your head at a certain angle and skwint fiercely the sticker seems to follow the outline of where the logo should be, if ya get me meanin. I know that counts for diddely but it makes me feel better about partin wit money.

could just be for demo purposes?

There is a pair of pistons working on either side of the disk, so you can only see 1 pair when looking at a picture. But i cud be wrong.

(Never claim to be an expert lest ye be blamed when it all goes tits up:sly:)

but why only 2 x pistons ?

2 piston = 4 pot.

2 points of force on each side of the disc. Look at a brembo 6pot for example and you will see 3 bumps in the caliper.

the supra logo is under the sticker lads i got the uk fronts recently from envy any there the same calliper.

They do look genuine and a good price

Good find

yeah i got ass raped for mine! envy are an expensive outfit!

i think i just missed a golden oppertunity to help fund my project. I SHOULDA JUST BOUGHT A F**KIN COUPLE OF PAIRS AND SET UP SHOP![sAD][/sAD]

Question is, do you actually get whats pictured when you send your money or do you get a 'close copy'

Copies are fine for Bodykit, gear nobs, carpets etc but not for wheels and brakes and suspension etc.

Genuine stuff will give peace of mind.

Buy them mate and let us know

Ah, i see. J-Specs have 2 x pistons one side and a slider. UK specs must have 2 x pistons each side, NOT 4 on one side.
