[theKnifeArtist]

Will this work with our front mounting locations?
this might be what i'm looking for, so i wanna know what the community thinks.

nothin huh?

Those are not MKIII supra calipers.

If you want true BOLT ON twin pistion calipers, buy front calipers for a 91 previa with ABS, exact same caliper and bracket only difference is twin piston.

Very interesting frank... very interesting indeed.

Cheap paint flakes as soon as the brakes get hot!

If I remember correctly, there is another Toyota that uses nearly identical calipers to our cars, but twin piston. I'm thinking it's the Toyota Previa, but don't quote me on it. In all honesty, it's not the caliper design that's holding us back the most, it's the size of the rotors- So unless you're going for newer stock brakes, these twin pistons won't make a whole lot of difference...

The ebay link is N/A Mk4 calipers.

Oh, I didn't even look. Ebay is blocked at my job so I didn't even try.

In any case, with brakes, go big, or just keep them stock and in GOOD working order.

Get good pads, get good lines, and a gnarly fluid and good tires.

GOOD tires is something a lot of people overlook.

More pistons won't do anything in our setup. We have a small torque arm (ie the diameter of the rotor is small) so adding more clamping force will do nothing.

Will the MK4 calipers bolt onto the MKIII?

i was planning to rebuild my calipers, so i thought this might be a fast easy cheaper replacement plus giving me a little time to get new pads.

Will the MK4 calipers bolt onto the MKIII?

no, and like already said, it won't really matter much since the rotor is so small.
