I'm literally going to wait until I install my dash cams before I drop it off for the recall work. I know it sounds ridiculous....lol

The thought of applying any force against the beautifully painted calipers stresses me out! LOL. I'll tape the crap out of it to prevent scratching.

Did you install them yourself? I went to remove the front pads and evidently they're glued to the caliper? How did you get the loose? Will try again this week. Thanks.

I realize this is a few months late, but it appears that the 2 bolts that secure the rear disc brake cylinder mounting (*2) to the caliper is 110Nm, 1122 kgf/cm or 81 ft/lb torque. The bolts for the rear disc brake cylinder assembly (*4) looks like is 35Nm, 357 kgf/cm or 26 ft/lb torque.

Go to nhtsa.gov to check your VIN. Mine falls under the recall.

I specifically asked one shop if they would report to Carfax, they told me if it goes through insurance, yes, otherwise, no

First estimate came in at $1700. Getting 2 more.

My daughter was walking to the car and saw the whole thing. She said she couldn't believe what she was seeing lol.

Yes, please, referrals in the Chicagoland area would be fantastic. Thanks Autopc, I'm inclined to go through her insurance, I'll get an independent quote from a reputable body shop and go from there. I have a text from her where she apologized... not sure what that's worth. I'll let everyone...

It was in a parking lot at my kids high school

Andrew, Yeah, I'm pretty bummed... I'm concerned about the paint match and all that stuff... what a pain. This is good info.

Literally, 30 minutes ago, had someone back into my passenger side door in a parking lot. She was super apologetic as none of her safety sensors went off (that's another conversation on how we still need to be vigilant with our eyes/ears). I got her insurance, drivers license, etc...I'm not...

Fantastic write up! I don't think I'll get that ambitious to try this, but it looks great. One concern: I notice that quite a lot of moisture builds up in the lower door area after driving in the rain or washing the car, maybe a silicone seal around the seam would be prudent? Just a thought.

Yeah, I have the Burger Tuning ones 15mm rear and 10mm front. I don't track my car, so, that alleviates that concern as well.

Out of curiosity, what's the reason for your stance on spacers? I have them, just want to make sure I'm not sacrificing or risking anything by using them. Thanks.

I know there are several member out there that hadn't had their shipping spacers removed: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/shipping-spacers-not-being-removed.5971/ Could be a cause of vibration?

Here's a pretty good thread about riding with your furry friends: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/dog-proofing-a-supra.9336/

So, this happened simply because the bolts were over torqued? I'm trying to think of the physics of how this can happen...sucks man. PM me the 'bad' shop, so I can avoid that one please.

I've learned so much from a seemingly innocuous question. That's why I love this community!!!
