4th Generation Better bolt on F brake calipers from other toyota/Lexus models?

Does anybody know if 2 or 4 live piston brake calipers from other toyota vehicles bolt onto the front of gen 4 camrys? That would be a cost effective upgrade! The single live piston calipers are OK with TRD pads, but maybe Supra, SC Lexus, GS, or even pickups(?) have better front brakes that will just bolt on?

Thanks!

Do you have a 4 cyl? You can upgrade to V6 Calipers and Rotors.

If you have a V6, you can look for one of the Caliper Relocator kit Ericsol made for the Gen 4's. This moves out your calipers to fit larger Supra TT Rotors. Good luck finding them though. If there is demand I can have them made again.



There's also big brake kit's available if you need them.

I have a 95 gen3 5S-FE

When it comes time to service my own breaks, and I would like a cheap upgrade, would the gen3 v6 calipers be a direct bolt on?

i think you need the brackets, calipers, rotors, and at least 15" rims.
