My opinion about this big brake thing is this - unless you are doing track days at a racetrack, or maybe performance driving schools at a track, you DO NOT need a big brake kit. If you just want one because they look cool and fill up the gap of your bling-bling wheels better, fine, good for you, but make no mistake about it, they are not *needed*. The stock brakes work VERY well when taken care of. I autocross my Celica a LOT, and have never felt the need for more braking. A typical autocross will put much more stress on the braking system than you would ever see on the street, and I just don't see the need for a big brake kit. I will say that the kits do look good, though, and certainly don't begrudge anyone for throwing one on. I am also not saying that it wouldn't help braking, as it would, I am just saying that it isn't 'needed'. There is a difference.

I agree with this too. My post was just to point out that big brakes in the back are even more overkill.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
