    AE101 TRD big brake kit?

    So I was looking through some Japanese secondhand market listings and came across these..

    According to the listing they are for AE101 but when I went to the TRD Japan website I cannot find any information about them. Do anyone know anything about this? Like if they require a large brake disc and if they are for normal strut or superstrut suspension?

    Those were used on TRD's own AE111 Levin.....

    I think most BZ-G's came with superstrut suspension, they might have also had larger rotors.
    But those are definitely hard to come by, it'd be great if you could somehow retrofit it onto our cars.

    EDIT: just watched the video again, and it's confirmed that it uses 315mm rotors, definitely larger than stock.
    Vibe: those are meant to be installed on the front.

    yea from the vid looks like it is superstrut equipped. OEM rotors are 255mm, SS are 275mm.. Way too much work to get the TRD rotors, thanks ray.
