squeezing the best out of factory brakes

pandrade · 07-03-2012, 05:16 PM

yah i imagines this would be the next step, i know the factory brakes will never be as good as my friends 09 is350f but i dident know if there was something i had missed on getting better brakeing( besides stepping up to a full big brake kit which i bet will match lexus or even far surpass it)

Well, there's the dual pot front caliper swap from the Toyota Previa minivan.... but there was never any solid info showing that they worked any better. The contact area really any different as the two pistons were each much smaller than the Supra's one. It is a straight bolt on affair though from what I recall. I'll bet you there's a reason you probably haven't heard much (if anything) about it.
