LS400 calipers are cheaper and little more effective in comparison with nissan skyline brakes. For instance, i bought a pair of calipers with pads for 150$, and pair of non-original new discs for 90$ only.
Thanks to old Soviet school, i can work on milling machine, and it helped to save my time and money.

Yes, the main problem in installing is that you need make some machine works with calipers. And there is no other way to fit them to Supra with LS400 brake discs. (Of course, only if you not swap left-side caliper with right one, but i think it's no good way, especially for future filling with brake fluid).

So, maybe somebody will find this info useful

and don't forget to paint the calipers. It gives additional 200% to cooling and braking abilities

What's the goal of sending the brackets, if you still need to mill the surface of calipers? :)

It's cheaper to drill out the Earth from Siberia to LA directly and drop a kit into )
That vendor is selling kit with other much bigger discs; and its size simplify the whole works. I'd better made the same setup for myself, but the discs he used are f**** good expensive here, (i found a pair only for 800$).

So i decide to use what i have.
