Lightbulb Supra Brakes on an MR2???

I was wondering if anyone knew if Supra brake calipers would fit on an SW20 mr2, and if so what work would have to be done to do so......cause i know that for most Nissan applications you can swap the larger 300zx calipers and they will work, and I didnt know if that would be the case here as well. Thanks

You can use the calipers if you buy the Phoenix Power adapter kit, but it's really expensive. Most kits will use the OEM Supra rotors with Wilwood calipers. Pics of it are on my site.

then u'll need 17'' rims for the calipers to clear....

why are u looking into this swap??...simply for the bling factor??..for the avg driver....a better n cheaper option would be to upgrade to 93 brakes....
