Installed the Z4 front brake pads I linked. It fits and works The rear brake pads for Z4 come with what seems to be caliper torque-to-yield bolts. I don’t believe aftermarket pads include that

Great info- thank you for sharing!

+1 On there not being any great DIYs out there. I found two youtube videos but they don't show the actual removal of stock pads and the retainer clip. They just skip over that part. I tried to change front brake pads yesterday and it was tricky. I got the pins to come out with a bunch of...

Those vibration weights aren’t needed. Luxurious though. Seems like they wanted to reduce vibration. Downside is that they add unnecessary weight.

Edit: I bought spare OE Supra brake pads off my friend who also has a 2021 model. His brake pads were friction code GG front, and GF rear. Something is different about the car in the YouTube video. I also compared pad shape against the Z4 pads, that part I linked appears to be the exact same...

I'm curious to hear more experiences too. Flashed Bootmod3's OTS ACN91 stage 1 tune and it's a bit ridiculous on a completely stock car. Without even trying to, I'm able to lay down two strips of rubber in 2nd and 3rd gear with some throttle. Driving it on track is a bit hairy too - very...

Seems like normal behavior. Both my Supra and M3 are louder when the exhaust and car overall are hot. For example, after a long drive or after at least 10 minutes of driving on a race track. Very noticeable on my M3.

FYI FCP Euro seems to have the rear brake pads too. Link: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-brake-pad-set-genuine-bmw-34206888835 BMW part number: 34206888835 I googled the BMW part number with the keyword "Supra" added. I came across an eBay listing that noted: "Compatible with the...

Here’s what worked for me after failing a few times! I didn’t have a good cap to use, so I used a screwdriver’s end. I was careful and positioned myself so I don’t stab myself with the sharp end. I pushed the loctite fun-tak hard onto the screwdriver and then hard for a few seconds onto the...

Does anybody know if the brake pads are the same and interchangeable with the Z4 M40i? I have a 2021 Supra 3.0 premium, and FCP euro has the Z4 brake pads available. Does this mean I can just buy those and they’ll be the same as buying the stock pads from Toyota? When I search that part number...

Got it done at Toyota 101 in Redwood City, CA. Dropped off in the morning and picked up late afternoon. Full screen carplay and had to re-code some of my settings as mentioned already. Didn't have any issues with Bimmercode coding the headunit. Maybe the app already updated.

Some of my friends' laps below. Mod details should be in the video descriptions. Sonoma 1:46.67 Laguna Seca 1:36.1 Thunderhill West CCW 1:21.059 Thunderhill East 1:56.8

I currently have a set I use on track. I wouldn’t recommend it if you just want more grip on the street. Street tire wise if you want grip maybe something like RT660, A052, RE71R, Goodyear supercar 3/3R, CR-1, Trofeo R, etc. Those are high grip street tires. agreed on R888R; they’re not loved...

I hear you on the constraint you've decided on for tire sizing - fair enough. FWIW, I do not consider NT01 to be an absolute lap time tire. Instead, I think of it as just fast enough to be fun, and primarily a durability tire. I regularly got 40-50 heatcycles out of a set of NT01s on my M3 when...

Sounds like what you're looking for is Nitto NT01. Get some square 18x10 wheels and put on 275/35/18 NT01. I drove and learned on them for a couple of years with my M3. Or, try the Conti Extremecontact Force. Haven't tried them, but they should be an RS4-type tire.

I got one from Andrew. Installed today and happy to have it!

Would a Toyota dealership replace the control arm under warranty for this...? I wonder if it could be considered early failure, or if they would just say you're on your own for that own due to operator-induced wear

Probably logic - if there's a shortage of electronic components that are shared between 2.0 and 3.0 models, I would allocate those components to 3.0 cars instead of 2.0, since 3.0 cars have a higher selling price.

Thanks for the feedback! Hope this is useful to others. Since the Toyota 101 dealership in Redwood City is the closest and muckduck's positive experience there, I visited one day to check about Supra trained techs, and they indeed have 3. Went earlier this week and it was done, seemingly well...

The general understanding I have is that if your wheels/tires’ overall diameters differ from stock, the TC/DSC will be more sensitive because they usually read wheel speeds. Different overall diameters will produce different wheel speeds.
