Advice on Brake Kits

Looking to upgrade my stock brakes on a 2007 GS 350.
Anyone have any suggestions on big brake kits that are a good mix of performance and affordability?

Big brake kits can get expensive, the cheapest route would be getting more aggressive pads. The majority of the time don't expect a drop in stopping distance but more of a fade resistance.

I have ksports. reasonbly priced.. you might need to shave your knuckle holes just a tad to get them to fit though.

I just placed an order for Stoptech brakes. I'm a big fan of there stuff and they are much cheaper then Brembo kits with the same performance.

yup, i had stoptech on my sc430 and honestly it's been one of the best setup i have had. not to mention it's cheaper like you said. post back and let us know how it goes!

though one thing i am curious. i don't think stoptech has direct setup for the 3gs, coz' they are the supplier for fsport brakes?
