Hi Guys, does anyone make an aftermarket upgrade for calipers? I'm checking into Performance Friction rotors and might have to get some different calipers. Performance Friction you ask, they make rotors for Nascar(all types of racing), UPS, USPS, and other severe-duty applications(police, ambulances etc.) I know first hand the engineering and R&D that went into these rotors because I used to work for the foundry that makes them. I'm waiting to hear back from them on my application(94 ES300). This would be the ultimate brake set-up for the street.
I would love to incorporate this into my plans. After reading up on this site for the last month I have some ideas that would turn my car into one badaz Lex. It will take awhile to piece it together for I don't have the income to do it all at once. I am confident that I will have her done in less than 2 years. Best of luck and thank you for taking the time to answer my post.

Performance Friction manufactured some brake pads for TRD USA...not to be confused with TRD Japan. There are no specific big brake kits for the ES. You may want to look into big brake kits that were developed for the Gen4 Camry/Gen1 Solara platform and perhaps retrofit it for your 94. But at this point, there are no big brake kits for the ES simply because there is 1) No demand or hopes for a kit being developed 2) The ES isn't a performance car that needs big brakes in the first place. Not enough power. I suggest looking into the one or two kits made for the Camry/Solara.

Cool

Just did a run with a gtech pro comp.
70-0 in 185 ft. 80-0 in 194ft.

Flip will argue about it, that's fine, whatever.
Brembo rotors all the way around, Hawk HPS pads in the front, Dealer pads in the back. Dot 5.1 fluid.
What on earth do you need bigger brakes for LoL!

PFC doesn't make rotors for my application*frown*. Oh well, I had a feeling. Thanks a bundle for your replies, I will explore those companies. Rock on. Josh.
