Default Better brakes options

I'm looking at improving my brakes. What I have now is borderline dangerous after driving my G37.

Any opinions on the effectiveness of these?

I appreciate any opinions or other suggestions. Searches are driving me nuts.

BTW I have a 98 gs400.

How are searches driving u nuts??? Everyone has upgraded in the past whether it be rotors, pads, SS lines or simply a Big Brake Kit.. What is your budget and what do u want to spend? That is the question.. Many good options out there to stay in stock form or spend $$$$ for a BBK

Sorry for being vague. There is a lot of info. Guess I'm hoping that this particular kit will be night and day difference over what I have now. And it's very affordable. I don't mind spending a bit more if it's a lot better on something else.

What I'm wanting to hear is 'Hey I just swapped out my original rotors and old brake pads to this system, and holy S*%t! This thing stops on a dime'.

My Tundra with heavy *** 35s on it stops better than the Lex.

I don't want to dump a ton of money into it. No BBk stuff for me.

Thanks folks.

Well i upgraded to brembo slotted and EBC green stuff pads with goodrich lines... I'm riding with 20's and the car stops pretty good..

The Ls400 brake upgrade would be good as well... contact member Aliga to get you the parts.. They are 4 piston calipers instead of 2 piston like stock...

There are many combos that work well...
