I need some help from you guys in deciding whether or not to take part in the brake upgrade group buy. First off, how much of a difference will new rotors and new brakelins make in actaul braking power?? I think Lexus puts great breaks on their cars...are these rotors that or part of the group buy that much better? Also, wouldn't it be more benificial to buy the entire break package?? What parts of a full break upgrade are missing from this group buy??
Secondly, I am going to be putting the L-Tuned 18's on my car soon, and try to keep my stock 16's for racing. Will I be able to exchange the wheels with out adjusting the brakes??
Please help me...I guess I am an idiot when it comes to brakes....but I would like to know exactly what I am getting (both part wise and performance wise) before I buy anything.

they provide better break feel and improved distance. for ~$400 they are quite a bargain; you need break sooner or later anyway, and these prices are cheaper than plain stock ones, why not.
if your budget allows for ~$800, get the Supra TT pkg from steve as the pkg would include the most vital compo:CALIPERS. keep in mind though, the price is for front set only. check with steve on the latest pricing...
if you just get the group buy break pkg, NOT the SUPRA TT pkg, you are fine with exchanging wheels...
