Default bigger brakes with 20's

can someone tell me what i need to do to upgrade my brakes with 20's....i noticed this black stuff behind where all my wheels are...not inside the fender well but outside on the paint...im assuming its braked dust and it just sticks to the paint......what brakes do you recommend and how much would i be looking at in cost.....also life of the brakes and something without to much dust.....i dont know much about brakes so do i need new brake pads, rotors or whatever else makes up the braking system?

thanks
ryan

first thing is first.... when you ordered your new twenties... did you get "high disk" fitment?

if you don't know what i'm talking about then you shouldn't waste your time asking about brakes because they won't fit. MAYBE, but highly doubtful.

if the big brakes won't fit just go and get some EBC brake pads(they have several different models to choose from) and some stainless steel brake lines...this should give you much better stopping power and much less dust.

i've tried that route rbini, it helps but it still isn't good enough. the 20's are just too heavy. i doubt the supra brakes will work for his car unless he got the high disk setup like auto mentioned
