Wink Brake Upgrade for GX470

Need brakes, and I see it as a perfect opportunity to upgrade calipers,rotors as well as pads. Looking for recommendations from the group on what works best, performance wise. Approx cost of all the parts, etc. Stock brakes are by no means insufficient in my opinion, but I like to upgrade whenever I can.

Any thoughts, experiences?

Thank you in advance.

I have heard of putting GX460 calipers/rotors/pads on the GX470. Do some research and there might be some who have done it.

Are we to assume that brakes components from Toyota for he 460,other than stock numbers are any better/different than its predecessor? Maybe we should be checking out parts for the Tundra?

Or the LX570?

There was a guy on 1 of the posts that said he had a GX470 and if enough people wanted to upgrade, he would put a kit together, checking fitment and performance on his. A lot of guys said YES! We are interested!
