Not quite a v6 but it's 6 piston (per side :D)

Did some fabbing just now to test the rear fitment. I'm waiting for proper rotors but for now i'll have to settle w/ diskless brakes lol

Wolfkatz StageII (ls430) 315mm disk. I wanted to make a 324 disk using the supra but the rotor won't work to well w/ it's short hat height.


Then my getto fab for the rear. Temporary until i can send it off to the machinist.

Also changing the pads on these is a breeze, i don't even have to remove any bolts. just a pin and the pads are easliy removed

Looks cool and at least you kept the stock caliper positions to focus weight toward the center of the car.

Yeah, my Tacoma's 4 piston calipers use 2 pins and the pads come right out. Made the brake job SUPER easy.

I can't really move the rear caliper to the rear side as there is hardly any support for it there. stock 430 rear caliper sits on the very back rather than the front. Only thing left is a proper axle and a backplate for the drums.

Heres a solid works diagram
