Electric fans
Factory fan is okay. But upgrading your JZX to dual electric fans frees up engine bay space and keeps temps low even at idle. It's one of the best mods to replace the noisy clutch fan that’s fully dependent on engine water pump speeds.

Caliper TLC
LS400 calipers are perfect when running 17” wheels with brembo clearance. These are fixed (non-floating) calipers with 4 pots. Wanted to show it some love.

BC Racing Coilovers
Installed BC Racing (DS series) coil-overs with custom spring rates 12kg in front and 8kg at the back so I can dial-in both to be in the middle. Stock setup is 11.5/5.5kg and the DS series should handle the car relatively better with quick feedback.

LS400 4-Pot Calipers
Supra and LS400 have identical calipers from TRD. The LS400 are light weight and preferred upgrade for daily use. This needs an adopter to align the caliper nuts to JZX100 hubs, Also requires at least 17mm clearance. Added 30mm KTS roll center adjusters to compensate for lowering the car 1.5 inches as well.
