Brake Upgrade
What do you guys think just as a basic update to brakes? I have a 92 SC 400. Daily driver. I'm getting the shakes when stopping at higher speeds around 67-70 mph. Want a solid solution without having to get another mortgage. Thanks for any suggestions. The car is completely stock as it sits. I plan on getting 18 inch wheels nut for the moment I have the original 16s on the car with the original rims. Thanks for suggestions.

I have tt fronts and stock sc300 rears. I'm using slotted rotors on the rears and carbotech pads at all corners. The car stops amazingly and have done a few canyon runs without any problems.

I'm still using the stock master cylinder. I replaced my brake lines with braided ones. I've had the current pads for around 30k miles and they still bite hard. I can honestly say they are the best I've used and I will be using them on my second sc when I upgrade to TT brakes.

i have ls400 brakes, brembo rotors, ss brake lines and oem master. People complain or compliment me when they drive it on the brakes. they are amazing. when i drive my friends ls400, and my sc300, his brakes seem mushy and ****ty. i think its my whole combo. oh, i have stock sc300 rears.
