Water injection kit ready for install in the future.

Also bought some Supra Twin turbo rear brakes to match with the fronts as well.

Water injection is a good mod mate. I am going to install my kit soon too.

Are the rear Supra brakes better than the OEM? Is the fitment straight forward?

fitment, im not sure about yet, but my car feels like its nose goes down when i brake hard as though the brakes are out of balance so i could just buy a balancer but this mod is more fun.

they look chunkier than the standard ones, but are still 2 pot opposing.
