Go with the ever popular LS400 upgrade or the TT upgrade. Those are "a lil better" than OEM

A lot better 12.3" rotors (i think?), and 4 piston calipers. They look awesome, and theyre inexpensive

amen.

I would not trust the K-Sport brakes to be nearly as reliable as other aftermarket brakes, let alone OEM Toyota products. This needs to be a consideration when the K-Sport 8pot kit is less -significantly so in some cases- than other aftermarket 4pot and 6pot kits.

Given the power and cost of the LS400 brakes, there is not a better bang-for-buck mod on our vehicle. With LS400 brakes, the car stops sufficiently hard for 100% of the driving circumstances I have ever encountered.

Amen!!

I don't see why you would need more than 4piston in a daily driver. After 100 miles of my LS4 upgrade, i did a complete stop from a 30 mph. I almost hurt myself, i was amazed how great they work lol.

I found a wilwood kit for a little less than the k-sports and they are obviously better quality.
