well since im really looking into getting this swap done fairly soon, ive also kind of developed a concern for braking issues... understandable, since im going to be driving faster, im probably going to want to stop faster as well, but the more and more i think about it... im not really planning on just flooring it alla round town... i mean, so is it really necessary??? i mean, at least for a good while now, i cant be speeding anymore since texas instated the point system, where it counted certain priors from years ago, i have exceeded that point and i cant get into anymore trouble... its just that id be getting to that point a lot faster, so really is the brake upgrade that much of a necessity that i should look into, the most id think is just upgrade the pads, and maybe rotor and calipers later, or maybe discs all the way around, or would you reccomend more?

is it neccesary? No... because even if you're gonna have a more powerful engine, and accelerate faster... you're not... or shouldn't be going all out faster than you did previously... at least not ALL the time. Get it? Going 80mph (or 100mph) with a 7AFE is the same as with a 3SGTE... except the 3SGTE will get there quicker. Slowing down from those speeds is the same between the two engines. Heheheh...
