Default need some brakes

Hey guys, I have a boring one here, but it's of great importance to me. I was wondering if anyone could recommend brake pads for my GS 400. It's that time, and I've not yet dealt with replacing anything on it (I just got it in April). Anyway, I do 70 percent city driving, but I do take to the highways a bit, mostly late at night to do some light speeding around. Of course top of the line would be nice, but I have no idea what I can afford (and I don't even know what top of the line in this case would be), as I'm new to the Lexus game.

Thanks for any input you may have. .

Default EBC Brakes

I havent bought pads yet, but the EBC "Yellow Stuff" pad looks to be a winner for performance-oriented daily driving, based on the specifications.

I would also go for new slotted rotors, stainless steel brake lines and of course a brake line flush with good quality fluid.

yeah, I've heard about both brands, I found a thread very similar to mine. (not very good at using this forum yet) no $$ for the rotor work (etc) though. thanks, guys.
