Well here is the latest update.
Unfortunately the build will be haulted for the next 9 months to to my deployment. I will still be ordering parts but won't be able to install them til winter of next year so she wont be running until that time. It saddens me but also excite me at the same time. I will miss u 6gc and I will see u 9 months or so.

were you able to get a set of rear 205 calipers?
1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situationエキサイティングカーレーシングチーム!march2010 COTM:6GCfeature2014:january2015-2016-2018 COTM
I can get them, but I'm debating whether I should or not plus I still need to order my front rotors which arent cheap. What would be the advantage to having them and what brake pads are replaceable with them ie. Supra brake pads for the front?

It will even out the brake balance if you ave all 4 corners upgraded.
If you really dont think you have the $ for it right now, you could just throw a set of aggressive pads in the stock rear calipers, and more mild ones up front 205 calipers to even out the balance a slight bit, the ghetto way haha
the 205 calipers will take pads made for a TT supra
Id suggest grabbing the rears if you can though.
