Hi,
I am thinking about upgrading the stock brakes and needed feedback on some aftermarket components. The components are as follows:
Pads: EBC green stuff or KVR carbon fibre or Hawk HPS (looking for low dust and noise)
Rotors: Powerstop, KVR cross-drilled, TRD slotted
Brake Lines: SS by Goodriche
As far as driving style, I am a spirited street driver and on occassion may go to the track.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,

GSMan,
About the SS lines...Don't use the Supra Goodrich lines on the GS... the thread is not long enough to hold securely onto the GS' brake lines. This can be a serious safety hazard. Maybe Goodrich now fabricates a GS-specific brake line ... be sure to check on this. I recommend the SS lines made by Racing Technologies. I think Steve Ganz can get these for you (gonzo4u@earthlink.net). Same quality as Goodrich and made especially for the GS (perfect fit).
