http://www.luxurymods.com/suprattfrontbrakeupgrade.aspx with blanks. Best mix of show, go, and still keeping the luxury label. If you're looking for pure performance go the other way.

ide go with the Supra just because of the MANY MANY MANY pad choices out there.

if you really want performance than save up some more n get a BBK from stoptech/brembo/project mu/ endless etc etc. oh and if youre wondering Rotoras are for show not race.

Willwoods are ok for a brand but they dont compare to others.

There are actually a huge assortment of pads available for the wilwoods, both from the WW and from other companies for their calipers as well... But of course supra pads can be had at any local store..

Wilwoods are decent brakes, for the Price. But obviously if you compare them to a brembo or endless they are not nearly as good, but a single WW Superlite caliper is only like $250 each and an Endless caliper is like $1500 so it's not really fair to compare them directly as is commonly done.

Are ENDLESS the "best" BBK for our cars ? (2GS...also SC)

They're 6-piston, so that's SWEET...but they're SOOOO much money.
Then again, how much are the 6-piston Brembo kits? ..and how does Endless compare to Brembo's BBK's ?
