IS300 TRD Big Brake on an MR2?

Does anyone know if it is very complicated to adapt the TRD Big Brake kit for an IS300 to an MR2. Will the brakets for the calipers fit on the MR2, or does TRD make a brake kit for the MR2?

I don't think TRD makes a big brake kit. I know that Rotora makes a pretty nice kit though. Will run you about $3k - $4k though.

Actually the rotora kit is only $1600.

Could probably find it for less if you did some more research.

They actually do make a big brake kit. I don't have info on what models it fits, and it's pricey. But, its freakin' sweet if you can afford it.

Where did you see this? Last I saw was for a Spyder......If you have info please post it.

Since we're talkin big brakes, can anyone reply if you have experienced using the Rotora big brakes (or any big brake kit) for the MR2?

I think they only offer them for the front.......

Stupid question: Is anyone consistently on this site besides you, MRQ and "Jekyll and Hyde"? LOL

I am hoping to the join the ranks of non-noob mr2 owner before the end summer. It'll be a shame to find one in good condition right before the end of summer then have to look at it sitting in my driveway all winter

I hardly have access to a garage... haha. There are people with a lot of knowledge that jump in and out of here occasionally. You should get the 2... just make sure you have a backup car.... I would be dead w/o my Supra.

I have to check my TRD Japan catalog again, but that is in the states right now and I am in Iraq. I will e-mail my wife and ask her to look for me.
