Also, I was thinking EBC Green Stuff brakes are those any good? How about Red Stuff? Give me a good recomendation for fast street use brake pads. Thanks.

Mintex pads are very good and pretty cheap, Porterfield pads are excellent but expensive, it all depends on what discs you are using...some pads are suited to some discs and not others, what suits one persons driving style may not suit yours. Standard toyota pads are alot better than people think and are definately worth considering.
