I bought the set from the guy in ebay -- his reserve is around $600.  I
had previously purchased Toyota 4 pot pickup calipers to use with the
standard TR6 front rotor.  His stuff is the same pad [Toyota P137 I
think is the Raybestos code], but takes a thicker "split" rotor [these
should cool better].  The pins and spring kit are Reybestos.  I lost
one, and at the auto store they said they came from a celica [not sure
which one].  I will be trying to backtrack into the rotor based on these
parts so I can get new ones.  I got the Panther Plus pads from Carbotech
because they said they had the stock P137 available to coat.  I think I
will go back to Hawk Blues when these wear out.  Hope to find a cheaper
source as Carbo wants $160 for them!  I had some trouble shimming the
calipers so the rotors did not drag on one side or the other.  Got 9/16
shims from Mcmaster Carr [a kit came with shims from paper thin to about
.1 inches thick -- a couple of them worked out just right.]
