Default Locals with Big Brake Upgrades?

Just curious if any locals have gone with big brake upgrades (toyota, baer, etc.) and what you thought of them? I was thinking about the supra TT upgrade (http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1474) but I'm not sure if I can try and find it somewhere else for cheaper.

Search LS400 brake upgrade, you can contact "aliga" for those...Less expensive and lighter than Supra upgrade..Good luck!

I've had StopTechs and the were great, no problems. I've got Supra TT brakes now. I just gotta find time and money to get them powder coated.

Just did a search and they seem to fit but only with some minor modifications..

I would go with Supra BBK to avoid the hassle..Saw one set for sale over at the SC430 forums, comes with SS lines, rotors, and calipers fully loaded...Cost around 300...****** them up before someone else does...
