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.

There ya go... you should let us know how the redstuff pads work out, if they do have less dust. Remember though that less dust=harder pad=less stopping power. Maybe they'll be a good compromise though?

Thats not allways right. New brake technologys, new brake materials, better compounds... ...better performance.

EBC claims that had some problems with the previus RED stuff pad and the new red stuff compund provides better cold and hot stop than the green stuff, with much less dust and minimal stress on the rotors unlike other sport, more agressive than the oem, pads.
