    Sometime in 1995. Although as Draven can attest, it's not ALL the models that have them

    id assume the Rz's would though - otherwise an aftermarket kit would be just as good

    RZ's pre '95 didn't have the 4/2 pot brakes, they only had the 2/1 pots like the N/A's. As stated above post '95.

    i thought it was late 95 they started with 4 piston, and came on rz, gz, and sz-r... but i could be wrong

    but that said nothing is definite with jap cars..... FIL has a Jza70 Limited, Targa, 5 Speed which supposedly dont exist... i guess if you factory option it you can have anything

    All US and Euro market JZA80 twin turbo Supras had 4/2 pots from the start of production in 1993
    - only the JDM TT Supras started with the smaller 2/1 pot before upgrading to 4/2 pot brakes in 95.

    note: ONLY the late model RZ jap supras had the big brakes standard. on the the late RZ-S jap supras they were optional (read: fuckall had them), all the way up to end of production. note: if you consider buying a RZ or RZ-S, get confirmation on wheel size before buying. I was told I was importing an RZ, and didn't find out it was an RZ-S with no options until it was on the way :\

    Tis still going to be an awesome car! 95+SZ-R did not get 4/2 standard, again it was an option.

    Trust me, I just upgraded from 4/1 on my 97 RZ (Mine did have the 2 rear, but were taken off by someone before me grrrr) to 4/2 and what a world of difference!

    My 95 NA had 4/2 setup too.
