Hey all. Was looking at at BBK upgrading on the 101.
Was wondering if UCF30/31 brakes will fit the x100 and will i need RCAs like when using 20/21s brakes.
Got 18"s with +40 offset. Will i need wheel spacers to clear brakes.
Can get them for about $350 from a wrecker for all 4 calipers and rotors.
Do i need to grab anything else off thier car?

Think they would need mounting brackets fabbed up to fit these on the jzx.
So there might be bit of a cost in other parts to fit them.
There is another set from another person. Just wondering if you would need anything else off the LS430 to make it easier.

If this not going to work 2nd option is celica 4 pots. They have 130mm spacing and jzx is 125 so thinking offset nuts might work. Same size rotor as the LS430 set up.
Anyone know what the jza80 supra bolt spacing is? Think its 120mm for fronts.
Or just bite the bullet and get supra brakes lol.

Seen big brake kits on yahoo auctions and guys on jzx world who have done this before.
Also nightpager make this bbk kit but are so ridiculously expensive! Think it was about $3500nzd.
The kits run supra disks in the UCF30 calipers and the mounting braket is just a tapped out block of alloy metal with a small bit of machining done to it to fit over our mounting points.
Question: Have they had to machine the calipers to make the supra disks(323mm) fit in instead of the LS430 disks(315mm)?
Be nice if you could get aftermarket jzx100 disks in a say a 330mm or similar size to the supra or LS and make them fit in the calipers. Even if it was just the rear disks to save pissing round with reshoeing the rear brake shoes.
