Overboost is conducting the same poll for their audience. Just curious what the result would be for us Lexus owners.

Hi Calvin:

I'm thinking about an upgrade; Supra, Brembo, or AP. I realize the AP is $$$, but I'd like your opinion on the braking performance. You chose AP, is there any specific reason why? There are other Club Lexus members that have this setup; I'd like to hear their impressions as well.

Thanks in advance,

David GS400

Yuck, a little over 14K for me but I have a SC3. I think you IS guys probably do more mods per member than the other groups. There is a pretty good aftermarket for your cars. We SC owners modify Supra parts in order to get ours going.

I would say not so much I think it looks better but for what I have done to the car the SC300 would have been a better option.. I have gutted most of the car and replaced it with all aftermarket parts..

So what's your winter total going to be? Or do I even want to know?
