1993 Supra Turbo has monoblock calipers on all four corners... this thing better not have that cheap looking crappy calipers in the back

I agree. But I'm also torn.

If it's light, and only needs twin pot sliding calipers on the rear, then it's less unsprung mass, and ultimately better handling etc....

.........but twin pots............. :thumbsdown::puke:

I've got 6 pots on the back of my JZA80 FFS :rolleyes:

This one has been in my A80 library for many years now. Had I bought a white one, it would have looked very similar... Stunning. Love the subtle rear guard work.

I've got 8 pots up front, only 275s on the rear though... but also on the front. Only running a GTX3576R so not heaps of power.

Here's a couple of older ones. It's had a fresh respray, new trims, wider wheels and tyres etc but it's much the same. I haven't had a chance to get new pics sadly!

Except those aren't monoblocs. They are a 2 piece caliper. The TRD calipers are monobloc.
I stand corrected.. thank you
