Post Any BBK upgrades available?

Hi guys, my mom's lease is coming up for her current GX and she's considering buying her next car instead of leasing another one. She likes the GX but she doesn't really like the brakes that much so I was just wondering if any of you are running a BBK or if there are any specific brake pads and rotors any of you would recommend. Just would like some input. Thanks a lot!

Default Brakes are not grippy enough

Agree and would like to hear from others as well!

Dont know if the BBK kit from a 470 works, BUT, check their forums, I believe a tuner shop designed their own kit for the 470 with wilwood calipers and stoptech etc

The GX shares the same brakes as the 5th Gen 4Runner so any of the brakes that are made for them should fit the GX.

would changing out the stock pads and rotors improve the brake feel? the current GX brake does bite hard initially but becomes kinda vague in the middle of brake travel. I would like to have a more linear brake feel. possible???
