If you don't already have them, get some fresh vented discs (slotted
if you must Tongue ) and a set of performance brake pads from a brake
specialist
. These pads will have a lot more "bite" than OEM pads, and
will withstand higher temperatures. Clean and overhaul your calipers
and check that your hoses are in good condition. If they have never
been replaced... now is a good time !! Fill the system with new quality
brake fluid, and bleed until you have a nice firm pedal.

Bed the pads in according to the suppliers recommendations, then go
and put them to the test on the race track :mrgreen:

BTW, as most of your braking is done by the front wheels, vented discs
on the front and solid discs on the back is OK. Either new discs from a
"name" supplier, or freshly machined OEM discs. Toyota rubber hoses
are fine... braided hoses are not necessary unless you like shiney
things Smile
