Default Brake Upgrades?

Has anyone done or considered brake upgrades on thier SC430? I can get Supra TT 4piston calipers from my Toyota store for 165 each. I am thinking strongly about getting them mid month.

I just ordered drilled/slotted rotors, silver caliper laquer, and black hi temp caliper decals. When everything comes in and gets put on I will post some pics.

Dan,

If you want a good quality big brake kit that will work behind factory wheels or your upgraded 20's then look no further than this kit from Steve Ganz (SUPRATRD)

No funds to do this myself at the moment but when I do i'll be hitting Steve up for the "BLUE" kit..

I dont think I would invest 1500 or so on brakes right now. I am mainly doing the rotor upgrade for cosmetics. If i could get the supra brakes to fit my car I would do it as it would cost around 500 dollars.
