I noticed several posters considering "big brake" upgrades. The brakes on my SC430 are fantastic. Smooth, powerful, well modulated...The best brakes I can remember. Pulling down from high speeds is effortless. No indication of ABS, just very powerful brakes. Car does not even "nose dive" under hard braking, just smoothly slows down. No hint of lockup or pull to the side. On the track it outbraked a 3 series BMW and a Acura Integra. I could not be happier with these brakes. No need to upgrade...Save your $$$'s.

Well if the calipers are the usual ugly stock color(s), then you can just fix it with some silver or black high temp paint. Just don't do "performance" colors like red/yellow/blue...looks ricer when you do it to stock brakes...
