Nice looking Supra!

How wide are your rims? How much boost are you running?

Note there are pads that stop much better than ebc greenstuff.

I agree it looks extremely good for a stock(as far as looks except rims) even though I do like bodykits. Btw why did you get skinnier tires they get less traction.

Oem tt rims are 8" wide in the front, and 9.5" wide in the rear. I'm curious: why did you get 1/2" wider rims in the front, but keep the rear with the same as stock?

Also, how much boost are you running?

I hope he's running a few gallons of race fuel mixed with every tank of 93 pump...

I agree that's the case. My point is that you do actually NEED to pay attention to how you change the Toyota design. The handling and performance balance will be upset not only be upset when disproportionately upgrade your rim size, but also when you increase your boost/hp in a rear wheel drive car. Putting wider rims & tires on the front can increase tendency to oversteer. Increasing rwhp without also increasing rear wheel rim & tire width can further increase oversteer in certain driving conditions. Again, any design change you make to this well-engineered gt sportscar needs to be deliberate and well-thought-out. All imho fwiw ymmv...
