Do a search regarding the Supra TT parts conversion;best bang for the buck,especially if you go through a rebuilder for the calipers($40 ea. jobber).
I couldn't fit these parts on,as my wheels didn't allow the clearance w/out using a 10mm spacer,stock Lex wheels won't work either.
I found some really good pads made by Performance Friction for TRD,they were on closeout at my local Toyota dealer and were for the Supra,non-turbo application.

i got my drilled slotted rotors off of ebay...its was about 230 and 20 dollars shipping...the only problem with these rotors is that they rust when it rains..so silver high heat paint is a must! And it was made in CHINA..! but now a days everything is made in china...so you can't complain...

they work really well..you can feel the difference when you brake slightly..! I had it for about half a year now and they dont show any signs of cracking what so ever..

I suggest factory pads...they work the best without any noise...
they are about 70 dollars at the dealership..

Stock rotors are expensive...they go for $175 EACH at the dealership!

good luck!
