Shall I go for Supra Twin Turbo Brake Setup?
I got a set of Supra Twin Turbo calipers, and I'm thinking about putting them on my 2001 LS430. I know both Supra Twin Turbo & LS430 are 4-piston calipers, and the LS430 calipers are even much lighter than the Supra TT's. But I want some good looking calipers to go behind my WORK Rezax II. I was thinking powder coating my OEM calipers but too much hassle. So what do u guys think?
If I decided to go with the Supra Twin Turbo calipers, what are some rotor & brake pad choises do I have? I prefer cross drilled with slotted rotors.

IMO get your existing brakes painted or powdercoated and stick with them. Maybe get a set of drilled rotors to dress 'em up a little more..
Powdercoating is more difficult because you have to have to remove the rubber components of the brake innards which is quite a task. Just get some quality brake paint like G2 or Foliatec.
They're lighter than the Supra TT brakes and that more than makes up in everyday driving/handling vs any incremental extra stopping power you'd get. I think the LS brakes look just as good.

i would keep the ones you have now on your car any day. it's monoblock and it's stronger, together with the fact that it's much lighter.
just take them off and powder coat it.
oh and from what i can tell, i probably like the shape of the ls430 calipers a bit more than the supra one
