Default aftermarket brakes?

hi guys,

i just got the 19" f sport rims for my gs300 awd, I feel the oem brakes are too slow in stopping the whole car.

can anyone recommend any after market brakes? I was thinking about the f sport brake kit but the price was really too high for my budget right now, or are all brake kits that expensive?

Thanks,

all bbk are that expensive, that's about the price to pay. is-f brakes might be a bit cheaper but same magnitude imho

just keep in mind a lot of times bbk helps to reduce fade and more persistent braking, but a lot of them don't stop the car faster

but compared to the GS300, more pistons definitely will help mucho

umm, good point, i forgot the 300 has 2 pot setup front instead of the 4 pot setup.

i wonder if you can just get gs350 awd brakes, wonder if the brackets are the same?

also, OP, keep in mind awd has different brakes. a lot of the bbk are only for rwd so they might not fit on your car
