Default Brake Upgrade

Hi guys, I'm considering a used LS and am not finding many F Sports on the market. I'm a huge believer in having really great brakes, so I'd prefer the better brakes from the F Sport. Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the stock brakes with a better set, either an F Sport set or an after market with additional pistons and larger rotor?

I have found a number of after market big brake kits and am curious if anyone else has replaced theirs and if they encountered any problems.

It is possible, just will cost some money. At that point might be better to get a big brake kit instead.

Yeah, that's what I meant by kits. I just didn't know if there are sensors that might be problematic when changing the brakes.

There are sensors but I know someone who has an LS luxury and he upgraded to big brake kit from Rolloface big brake kit. I'm guessing just the brake wear sensor is all that would be needed.
