Camren, the stock brakes are two piston and the Supra's are four piston. Stopping power is not that much different, but pedal feel is better and fade has been pretty much eliminated in all the driving I've done with mine. They are BIG brakes and will require high disk front wheels to fit underneath the calipers without modification (shaving calipers).

Try doing a search in the GS400 forum for "Supra brake" and you'll find a lot more detail than in the classified section .
