Nobody has mentioned BAER!! i have the Baer decelaroter its x drilled & slotted with EBC pads and they are the sickest set next to actual big brake set up. Honestly Rotors 2 best on the market BREMBO & BAER! Rotera are good but nothing like BREMBO or BAER. you can go to autoanything.com and get yourself BAER decelarotors for $208 front pair

that seems like crazy over kill unless you are racing your car at the track every weekend

You think thats crazy? I saw a thread on here a little over a year ago where a guy swapped out to 12 pot fronts ...

Try Tirerack.com for the Brembos.. I going to get brembos blanks and EBC pads for the ES in a few weeks.. I found them for 61.00 a piece on tirerack.. and the pads for 30.00 on another site..

I put Brembo rotors and Akebono Proact pads on my 94 GS300, and they were great. Also put ATE PremiumOne slotted rotors on my 99 GS400. All were bought from Tire rack. Rotors were around $42 each + $58 for pads. Way cheaper than the stealership...........

can't imagine that. My LS brakes is already good enough. If I brake hard, the car stops and I lunge forward out of my seat...and I'm the driver. I always make sure I leave enough room for the SUV following me from behind

It might be overkill, but I bet he has a 1200whp monster.
