Honestly, this isn't great advice. The oem mkiv tt suspension is far more than sufficient to handle any normal traffic situation, and most amateur roadracing scenarios too. Quoting from several websites (there are duplicate re-posts of this everywhere):

t, in 1994 the MKIV managed a remarkable skidpad rating of 0.95 lateral g's (200ft) or 0.98 lateral g's (300ft) [1] due in part to a four-sensor four-channel track tuned ABS system with yaw control whereby each caliper is sensored and the brakes are controlled individually according to the speed, angle, and pitch of the approaching corner. This unique Formula One inspired braking system allowed the Supra Turbo to record a 70-0 braking distance of 149 feet (45 m) [2], the best braking performance of any production car tested in 1997 by Car and Driver magazine...

In other words, the Mkiv Supra TT brakes, designed in '91, tested in '92, and sold to the public in '93 HELD THE BRAKING RECORD FOR ANY/ALL PRODUCTION CARS between 1997 and 2004!!!
Again, unless you're a VERY serious amateur or semi-pro roadracer, don't waste your $ upgrading the brakes on this car. The race-inspired oem parts are more than capable of saving your life if driven competently.
