Hi,


Welcome to the club

You ideally need Supra MKIV Front brake callipers which are a straught swap i.e

This was them fitted to my Aristo:

You can buy brake calipers for the GS/Aristo off eBay if you want to stick with the standard ones. The IS200 uses the same calipers.

but you might need to change the wheels.

THanks for kind replied

so does it mean that I need to change the wheel at the same time when using a mk4 supra calipers?

Thanks

the Lexus dealer told me is200/altezza doesn't use the same calipers as aristo. They even said aristo can't use the same one on GS300... Weird..

It may just be that you need some spacers. You'd have to try it and see though.

Yeah that's odd, I thought they were the same. Looking at the parts diagrams closely, it looks to me like the Aristo calipers are identical to the GS300 ones, although there's a very slight difference to the IS200 calipers. But the internals of the calipers (pistons, pads etc) look the same as the IS200.

I'm not sure about the IS200 calipers, although I believe that the front brackets are different from the GS 300 brackets, because the Supra calipers are a straight fit in the GS but need slightly offset inserts for the IS. GS/IS Pads are the same though.

The GS front calipers (Mk1 and Mk2) are shared with the Aristo (except the very early non-turbo), Soarer TT, "Japanese-spec" Mk4 Supra, SC430.
