And what are you going to put on the rear to keep the brakes in balance?

I have run Brembo 4 pots on the front with Red Dot discs, and stock Calipers on the rear with EBC discs and yellow stuff pads with no problems on street or track for a good few years now.
I have not had the need to install a bias valve?

Are you looking for brake performance or looks? If it's performance just fit carbotech XP8 pads and good luck trying to make those fade!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] mr2 brake convertion.
I've had some bits on the bench to play with this week.
.
.

- F+R SW20 hubs
- 323mm RX8 discs
(rear)
- Rev 2 OEM calipers
(rear)
- 323mm Supra discs
(front)
- WMS 4 pot calipers
(front)

The pistons in the calipers are the correct size to keep the correct front
> rear bias.
