Default Locals with Big Brake Upgrades?

Just curious if any locals have gone with big brake upgrades (toyota, baer, etc.) and what you thought of them? I was thinking about the supra TT upgrade (http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1474) but I'm not sure if I can try and find it somewhere else for cheaper.

I've had StopTechs and the were great, no problems. I've got Supra TT brakes now. I just gotta find time and money to get them powder coated.

Just did a search and they seem to fit but only with some minor modifications..

I would go with Supra BBK to avoid the hassle..Saw one set for sale over at the SC430 forums, comes with SS lines, rotors, and calipers fully loaded...Cost around 300...****** them up before someone else does...
