these past few days i've been collecting parts for my twin turbo brake swap... i've posted on both supraforums and club lexus. and i must admit i'm getting a bit lucky. well you might be surprised in terms of the money spent but still i'm getting a great deal. first off i was able to find a set of rears brakes at club lexus. luckily the guy lives in southern california. i called him up and asked a couple of questions. he bought the brakes from another member on the forums but ended up not using them, since he is selling his ride. so i decided to meet up on the weekend at laguna hills with my friend david.... so the rear brakes have been taken care of... next the front brakes...
i got a couple of responses to the front brakes. one guy i found up in washington state had a new and used set. he sent me picks and we spoke on phone. i was really interested at the time. but his price was a bit steep. so i continued my search.... PMed a couple of people and still nothing. finally i got a reply on supraforums from a member. i sent him a reply back and talked to him through AIM. he was a definitely cool dude. He had a set of front brakes that he was going to use on his MR2 but didn't end up using them. They were just sitting in his garage and decided to go another direction. so we talked about it and told me to through and offer. so i through out and a number of 230 shipped and he agreed. so the front brakes have been taken care of...
i placed an order from goodridge stainless steel brake lines and some Motul 5.1 Brake fluid...
