Brake kits
There are several, most have opted for the Supra Twin Turbo brake upgrade. The Rod Millen kit is the same except for the fancy shmancy RM logo airbrushed on.
Others available are Brembo (pretty much an industry standard for perf. brakes) Or if you want to go completely hardcore you get the BAER/ALCON or AP 6 piston Caliper racing setup. Seek and you shall find the answers as well as some pics in older threads.

Just curious but do these rotors seem shady? They seem like a good price but was wondering if anyone had any info on parts such as this. I mean I'd love to splurge and get the $2k Brembo set but I don't think I can afford that at the moment. The stock brakes are great but is this worth it for looks? Any suggestions? Thanks.

If you are looking to replace only your rotors, I would try KVR Performance. www.kvrperformance.com I am currently running their brake pads which I have found to be pretty damn good!

Yep...that is what it is...braking performance is awesome...when I switch from my SC400 to the GS430, I swear I almost put myself through the windshield at the first stop! Then when I switch back to the SC400, it feels like I have NO brakes!
I need to upgrade the SC400 REAL SOON...but I need the damn wheels first!

Damn, I was thinking supra brake upgrade the whole time but after having the fabrication guy who worked on my supra keep telling me that the AP 6 piston brake kit will performance and look GREAT with my Lowenhart Dubs. Hey Manaray, PM me and let me know how much you picked those up for, im curious.

On the SC4, I am only going to do a Supra TT brake package...it should be good enough...but if it doesn't cut it, I might move up to the 13" Brembo Package...we'll see...

I just can't say enough about the AP package...it's VERY impressive in terms of performance...when you have Porsche Turbo TRACK RACERS complimenting it's braking capabilities in my GS, that's saying something!
