brake upgrade for mk3 supra.

[hazee]

evening - newbie here

 

my family are currently racing a mk3 supra in 40 min races. running standard calipers with uprated pads.... obviously there not up to the job.

Was wondering if anybody had experience uprating mk3 front brakes up to the uk mk4 supra.

As the only other option we have at the moment are kits from arizona performance. http://www.arizonaperformance.com/parts.html

Wilwood kit gets a good write up on the mkiii forum.

 

Not read about anyone using the MKIV set-up but seen someone with an EVO8 set-up

I dont know if they'll fit but if mkiv uks fit then so will LS400 4 pots. Very cheap and if they can stop an 1800kg saloon with a v8 in the front and 4 people in it then they should stop a stripped out mkiii pretty good. I have them on my mkiv and they are pretty good for the money.

I don't think Mk4 calipers fit the Mk3, not without adaptors anyway.

 

The usual upgrade is Nissan 4-pots

Evo brembos dont work, brackets are just to big. There was a BBK kit from brembo but long since discontinured. Mkiv TT Rear calipers and disks can be fitted, fronts like the brembos will never fit.

 

nightpager kits will allow either nissan 4 pots up front (r33 brembos etc) with 350z discs, or LS400's depending on the kit you get. Steves (Silverlines) are copies of the Nissan 4 pot brackets i got from nightpager for my track car a few years back.

 

There are also some very good BBK setups available from the states.
