I have a 98 convertible and with the heavy 18" wheels the braking is not as good as i want it to be.

I don't want anything extreme like a big brake kit but i want something better than stock, maybe a biger caliber with a set of good pads.

Is there any toyota models with bigger brakes like supra or gt4 that i can use their parts without too much custom work? I mean if i just need a custom braket to use the gt4 caliber with convertible or gt4 rotor that would be nice (if the gt4 rotors fit the convertible).

Any other options?

**edit** ps. Is a 98" with beams motor. Don't know what model that makes it.

Well, if you dont want to do much work, than get better pads to begin with. Not the cheap-o auto-zone crap, but a decent brand. Second, make sure you have your system bleed with speed-bleeders or a vac-pump.

as for upgrades, These have served me well:


But it's not for everyone. You'll see a variety of opinions sprout from this, but first thing is first, start shelling out dough on pads!! everyone will agree with that. biggrin.gif Good luck with your upgrades.
