Convertible brake options Options

[Buffalo]

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.

It's my understanding that EBC Greenstuff pads are about the best pads you can get for stopping power. I don't know about SSIIIs because we got totally screwed in the US market, but do you have rear disc brakes as well, or drums? If you have drums I'd say convert them to disc brakes to increase stopping power as well. Short of that, I'm not really sure what else you can do aside from a big brake swap. Maybe stainless brake lines? I don't think it's quite as simple as being able to just get bigger rotors. That'd be great - unfortunately I don't think they're available for our brake systems as-is.
