Is it the UK or jap brakes that have the 'supra' logo on the callipers?


Mine have supra on the front callipers but not the back.

My J-specs have Supra on them, Keiths UKs have Supra on them.

Hi Trev

The pic you posted of this wheel is J-spec brakes. I can only assume the others are similar :)

Thanks m8.
The guy who sold it to me didn't have a clue. :twak:



How much do UK brakes go for then?

Most of them don't :(

I looked at lots with j-spec brakes that the dealers said were UK style :(

You've got to reckon on about £1000 or so for big brakes all round. Keep you eyes open in the For Sale section, they often come up at pretty good prices.

New Michel Lane usually retails fronts setup for about £530 and rears £590 sometimes used come up cheaper I sold a set a while ago for a nice price (shame there was hassle with them afterwards soz Wilf). CJ has done a cpl of group buys on them but its a lot of hassle just ask him lol. Keep an eye on ebay they do come up occasionally. But in all seriousness dig deep on here and keep ur eyes peeled on here as they do come up but you have to be very quick.
