This means that Supra's flywheel has also been changed from OEM to a Giken.

Thoughts?
The OS Gikken clutch isn't bad, but it doesn't stand up to HARD driving that well. I have a friend that had the twin disc version in his Supra, and he had to get the springs in the sprung-hub sections replaced several times. Again, it's an okay clutch, but not anywhere near a top-of-the-line clutch for the Mkiv Supra Turbo 6spd like this one:

By the way, do you even know if it's a twin, triple or quad-disc Gikken? Here is the list of possible OS Gikken part numbers for the Mkiv Turbo:
  • TS2CD
  • TR2CD
  • TS3B
  • TS3BW
  • R3C
  • R4C
Regarding the Endless pads, which compound are they? We still don't have enough information about them. Here are the choices for Endless compounds:
  • LF1
  • LF2
  • LF3
  • MX72
  • CC-R
  • SSM
  • SSY
  • NS97
  • ME20
  • N03W
  • N35S
  • N40S
  • N45S
  • S89F
  • S90F
  • S91F
  • S93F
  • MA45B
  • ES88G
Some of these pads might be absolutely horrible, like the EBC pads that warmkop used. At least find out specifically which pad it is, and then after that we can discuss how well they fit your application.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
