they do sell a kit in Japan which im still trying to look for. Basically its using LS430 front calipers with supra tt rotors, and supra tt rear calipers.

If it has the 1uzfe motor and only the two piston calipers, its most likely an LS400. yeah, the brakes are beefier then ours, but not worth the work to adapt them. The later (98+) LS and GS 430 with the 3uzfe cars did have 4piston brakes and would be better if every bit of the system was adapted. Even then, if will still not be the best thing to do cause the cars have totally different characteristics. System balance would possibly be off
