Gen1 Want better brakes on my AW11!!!!

well, I am kind of new to the toyotas, so any help would be very appreciated

I am wanting to upgrade brakes, bigger rotors and calipers, but here is the thing, I would also like to keep it oem and I heard somewhere that st185 and st205 brakes just might do the trick!!
is there any modification required??

and another question, where can I get coilovers for this thing???!!

once again thanks in advance

how big of a rotor do you want to run?


You can make some of the other Toyota stuff work, but i find it's still not big enough plus those big stock calipers and rotors are very heavy (st205 parts is what i'm reffering to)

I went with a custom 2 piece 12.2'' vented rotors and 4 piston aluminum calipers all around. The upgraded brakes was the smartest performance mod that i have done. The stopping power is incredable. No fade, no surprises, just stops on a dime.
