You can also order the calipers and steel lines from Carson Toyota and order a set of cross-drilled Brembo rotors for $260 plus order the TRD HP pads for $110. This is the best performance + cosmetics set I'd go for.

And oh yeah, I havent forgot about the Tex. meet.....just been really busy. I have been seeing more and more and more Texans on this board so it should be a good thing. Thanks, Tiny

I GUESS i have to put aside my X-acto knife and my screwdriver then
So I guess the Supra TT kit from Steve is a good investment. Are those kits NEW?
sounds like a stupid question.

You know, there is ONE LUCKY Chihuahua out there...I was crusing down a street at about 40MPH and little piece of **** jumps out in front on me to chase a ball...I SLAMMED on my brakes (**** the dog, I didn't want dog guts on my car...hehehe, I'm going to hell) and I swear it felt like the back end came up!
I actually stopped about a foot or two from the dog. I should have gotten out and kicked it.
ABS kicking in or not, my car DEFINITELY stops better...even my buddy in the car was impressed he's a stunt car driver!
I'm going to do a 60-0 stop test with a bone stock GS300...I'm not sure if that's a good test (especially since he has stock 16" wheels with stock tires and I have a GS430 with a few little mods) but I want to see how much shorter my stops are...

supra brakes
You might try asking on www.supraforums.com see if someone has upgraded their supra and wants to get rid of their stock brakes.

Tiny,
I've already checked, the Brembo direct replacement rotors for SupraTT is $130 apiece. They are 12.8 diameter which is about 1" larger than stock GS rotors. When ordering Brembo rotors, you have choice of either cross-drilled or slotted. Brembo rotors are good, they won't get cracked or warped.

Try these guys as well
If you don't mind getting used parts, try TAP recyclers (Toyota Auto Parts). I got my brakes, and rotors from them. 300 for everything. They have a warranty, of course you don't wanna find out that the brakes don't work and need to warranty it. When they get the brakes in, it goes out very fast, so you might wanna give them a call.

Brent,
This has been discussed here before. Steve Ganz has contacted Brembo about their rotors. Brembo does not have any OEM replacement for GS. They do have OEM replacements for SupraTT. The cross-drilled GS rotors on the market today are not made by Brembo. I'd guess they are made by PowerStop.
