I know TRD BBK is a rebadged stoptech but I might buy a pair or TRD BBK calipers locally and I was curious to know if I can reuse my OEM lines // buy stoptech OEM replacements steel braided lines or the BBK calipers require A DIFFERENT kind of lines to fit.

Also I am planning to put the calipers on powerslot + rotors (the ones with the relcation caliper kit) Will it fit?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Not. Just buy the trd bbk on ebay for 300 needs new rotors tho!

"not" for which? Will the OEM replacement stoptech steel brake lines "not" fit the TRD calipers or will the TRD calipers "not" fit the powerslot + Big rotors? Or even both lol.

The ebay one is the one Im looking at and yes it would need new rotors (I have powerslot plus with relocation kit that I havent installed yet, Im planning to use those rotors) and the calipers doesnt appear to come with the lines (which is why I made this topic)

I PMed the guy regarding shipping and sorts and I asked if the lines were included, he hasnt replied as of yet.

lines should work but the trd bb calipers mount differently then the stock ones.

I hope the lines can be reused (same bolt on pattern) But I hope someone can verify?

Also these are the rotors I have for reference.

The lines will fit. But you need specific rotors for the Stoptech/TRD BBK. You also need the original brackets that holds the caliper in place. I have installed both of these kits.

Thats awesome that the lines fit and yes the calipers come with the original brackets on them. Ive read the TRD rotors that come in the BBK are 12.9 and I measured the powerslot BBK and they are 12" flat. Im assuming the .9 difference wouldnt make them fit?

Dude don't mix and match....You have no clue it they discs align with the center of the calipers....the hats of the disc might not be the same either....they might hit the caliper!
Get the stoptech ones......I know that the're more expensive but are worth it in the end.

Im getting the calipers with the hats so I would just have to buy the rotor ring and the brakelines which from I learned from here I can buy the OEM steel stoptech replacements.

So what is the dimensions of the TRD/ST replacement ring? 328x28?

Update:

I confirmed the rotor ring / aero rotor / friction ring is 328x28 and the calipers are ST-40 which means I can find the replacement pads and rings easy.

I'd just like another confirm about the brakes lines, like these

Would those fit the BBK calipers or only the OEM? I have one yes and one maybe and like to be certain before ordering a pair.

Thanks in advanced!
