I had a TRD big brake kit fall into my lap for a Toyota Sequoia. It's Massive. I want to adapt it to something but it's just so g d big. 
I have a st165 all trac on 17s, two mr2 spyders on 15s and 16s respectively, and the ls turbo hilux build that is currently on 15s but at some point I would consider some bigger te37x or something. Seems like such a shame to let them be wall art. Any ideas?

I dont see myself owning anything with a wheel size that would accommodate these things lol. I think the sequoia with this kit is set up for 20s :-/  I might just see if I can sell em.

Oh they need to be used for something.  What size rotors do they belong to?

I think a Supra owner would jump at the chance to stuff those under it and then see how well their "hand basket" wing works when the nose is buried in the pavement.

I need a set like that for my JaguarV12 vintage racer. The stock brakes are fine for the challenge but running at Elkhart Lake  with its 3 long straights followed by tight corners and 14 turns really cooks brakes like no other track in the world.

I imagine its been done in a few of the wrong neighborhoods, but I don't think 20" rims are gonna look too good on a Jag. blush

Calipers are all I've got. Stoptech allegedly sells all the parts and was the original manufacturer of the trd branded kit.

It looks like the kit was really just the calipers, braided stainless flex lines, and 323mm drilled rotors (12.7 ")

You can get 13" rotors on minivans these days, and usually fit them inside of an 18" wheel with no problem. Maybe even some 17s with the right wheel design. I'm sure somebody with your skills can figure out a vehicle that needs 13" rotors.

I fell you bro.  I still have all four Brembo calipers and rotors from my 2010 Camaro SS parts car.  Things are monstrous.  I so badly wanted to use them on my LS3 powered TR8 project, just couldn't justify having to use 18" wheels just to clear the brakes.  Car only weighs 2500 pounds.  So, they just sit in the drivers side footwell of the Camaro.  Not really even a market for them.  Compared to the 6 piston Willwoods and 12.19" rotors I ended up using, these things are double the size and nearly twice the weight.  They look like clown shoes.

TWR raced their group A car with 17 inch rims 9.5 in the front. Stock fenders ( unflaired). The first set of calipers were giant 8 pistons left over from the factory XJC  Broadspeed project.  
 The stock wheels and tires are 16x7  and as you can see plenty of room to grow bigger. There is more  than an inch on the inside and at least 2" on the outside

These are six pots, the ones in your link are 4s. Different kit? 
My research says 380mm rotors.

Ok, so I learned some stuff. Apparently although the original kit was for the 380mm rotors for the sequoia. Stoptech sells that same st60 caliper for use with a smaller diameter 340mm rotor that they sell for the 4runner application. 13.38", they claim that will fit inside a 17" wheel

On the Tundra, those calipers only clear the 22" wheels and some of the 20" wheels.  They are damn huge.  

 

That being said if you want to sell them cheap let me know.  Been hankering to do some of the TRD 22s on my Land Cruiser.

Yeah, I noticed the text said 4 piston calipers, but all of the pics seemed to show 6 piston calipers that look like yours so who knows. It sounds like you may have gotten some clarification anyway.

They're actually way lighter than they look. So after much research I've found that the manufacturer actually makes a 17" wheel application on the 4runner/gx460. I am going to try to adapt them to the ls/turbo hilux in the front. I think this will be a good match for the 4pot (originally) fronts that I'm using in the rear. It means I'll have to do a wheel upgrade but that's ok cause te37s are cool on trucks, and dynamically a bit less sidewall wouldn't be a bad thing with the power that I'm (hopefully) going to be making. Thanks for all the encouragement and info guys!

Didn't say there wa not room; just that "donks" are prolly not the best choice for a race car, or a jag. 'Course, I personally don't like donks on anything old school.
