seen these also.

not a very good price for secondhand and in average condition.

you can get brand new 4 pot fronts and rotors to suit for just under $750 from New Zealand.

If you do this upgrade, can the 2 pot fronts fit the rear anyway?

Not sure. Vandie on the National Forum seems to think you can't (given he did the upgrade, I would believe him):
http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showth...ighlight=brakes (halfway down)

Also, yes, most of the braking is done from the fronts (simple physics) but remember a thing called brake balance? 4 pot fronts with single rears throws this balance out, and can actually worsen braking performance rather than improve it.

However, there is always a difference of opinion:
http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showth...ighlight=brakes (again, halfway down)

Just a point worth noting.

its like when you drink scotch and bourbon. its like, scotch is good for one but not theother. and when you drink borboun you cant drink scotch,

so if the 2 pots are the scotch, and the 4 pots are the bourbon it makes for spewin in the toilet I gues.

But the real question is. Did YOU do the scotch or the bourbon? The answer might be in your toilet....

Note to self*

If you are too drunk to drive... you are too drunk to post.

I think what I was trying to get at was the fact that the 2pot fronts are not interchangable with the rear.
