Hey I was just wondering if any of you know the distance from the center of the axle to the outside edge of the caliper on a JZA80 turbo?
I was thinking about doing a brake upgrade on my AE92 using MKIV calipers and rotors (I know I'm crazy). This dimension will give me an idea of how to design the caliper bracket.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I can take some rough measurements tomorrow. Remember that you will need 17" rims to fit around them though...

I assume you're asking about the distance marked in red, right? If that's the case, it's about 18 cm.

Yes, that's exactly it.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

a better proven upgrade would be that from an 88 celica GTS. it works with no modification. Also look at upgrading to 90 celica GTS, don't know if they'll fit but if they do you can get big brake upgrades for around 900 bux and htat puts it at 13". The supra pobably won't fit since the Drivetrain layout is copmletely different and the rear of toyotas, which you probably would use in the front due to the axles, usually houses the e-brake mechanism. Good luck if you do go that route tho.
