trdsparks.com have the TRD Big Brake Kit for $1870.00 + S/H
depends on where you are, the pricing varies at the end, but i'm pretty sure you can get the kit under $2000.00. Thought i posted this information for those who were interested in getting it. here is the direct link http://trdsparks.com/displayparts.ph...11&parts_id=29 for total shipped price, just click add to cart and enter your zip code. As Hotchkis said its the same kit as the celica. I'm Planning on getting it asap. Hope this helps everyone.

Is this for front only or is this kit both front and back ??

Finding a rear kit will be difficult. Most of the braking effort is done on the front of the car which also where most of the heat is generated. Since the purpose of a big brake is to have more heat capacity and the rear brakes on vehicles are more than adequate, rear kits just aren't a necessary item.

yeah i understand that stoptech, but i want a BBK for performance, and show. matching calipers look better IMO. I could always repaint my rear calipers to match the front, but i would perfer matching calipers all around (yes i know the rears would be smaller)

any info you could provide me on that would be very helpful. thank you

Excuse my ignorance but would it work to buy two front brake kits and put one on the rear brakes? I'm sure there's something different but is it enough to necesitate different brakes altogether?

Think of brakes like suspension. Fronts are very different from the rear in the way they bolt on as well as many of their factors, like brake torque output. Brakes need to be balanced in order to work optimally. Most cars come from the factory with near perfect balance.

I'm sure that many of your questions can be answered.
