The front calipers on Jamie's kit are a monoblock design so they are very stiff. The caliper tries to blow itself apart when you press the pedal and the one piece design helps hold it togther - this will help with initial feel and bite, as well as reducing sponginess in the system (similar to fitting braided steel brake lines instead of rubber) compared to other designs like KAD, HiSPec, AP, K-Sport and some of the Stoptech calipers.

 

A small downside is that you need to remove the caliper to change the pads - not a big deal in my book though.

They do a HI SPEC - TOYOTA SUPRA 300MM BILLET 4 CONVERSION KIT

 

HI SPEC used my car many years ago to get the pattern for their brake kits, I had the first separate bell and rotor kit for stock calipers, shame their brakes are like toffee, couple of laps at donnington and they were warped to hell, stock discs performed better ;)
