Is it a BZ wagon?

If not, you could convert the drums to disks??

id say a new set of genuine rotors and pads would probably suffice 8)

He said genuine. Genuine comes from toyota...

And if you think they are expensive, you're not going to get much in the way of performance upgrades.

$800 for all new rotors and pads isnt too bad!

Could spend that much going to twin pots at the front, larger rotors and stuffing up the brake bias 8O

Check out how much slotted front rotors are. They mad the road car stop a bit better

Pays not to assume that all original parts are a rip. Most things that commonly need replacing aren't too bad. Just don't go pricing up AFMs or ECUs :)

Standard toyota rotors and a set of mintex m1166 pads will stop you damn well :) (they tend to eat rotors from what i've seen, but you will not fade them on the road)
