I noticed that the US Lexus SC400 has TT brakes as standard, along with TT wheels.
How come the Jap specs went with the smaller brakes as did the SC300 in the US?
Anyone?

The UZZ32's also get TT brakes as standard.

I know it doesn't answer your question, but I'm in a smug, active mood. :-)

the 32 is heavier so it needs bigger brakes....
The sc400 got them because they are all "OBNOXIOUSLY FAT BASTARDS" in the US

The Soarer V8 came with 15" wheels as standard so there wasn't enough room.

We know that Benny, but why not have as US market, TT brakes and TT wheels? Seams odd to me.

If it was "just a Lexus thing", shouldn't the SC300 also have had TT discs and calipers ?

Maybe its just a Lexus V8 thing? I sure wish my car had TT brakes, I think it comes back down to another one of the differences between Lexus and Toyota models.

SC300 being a 6
SC400 being an 8
Lexus never sold a TT model

WHy is this even a topic of confusion! The V8 didnt come with Bigger brakes for the same reason Corollas dont come with 4pots.
It just wasnt required by their target market, within cost restraints.
