Well, it appears that the brake pads on my supra are wearing thin. It's time for new ones. My question is this:

Should I uprade the brakes or just leave them stock? I just use the car for a daily driver. I don't race or boost much (unless an idiot feels the need to not let me pass them). There are no upgrades on the car... yet. I hope to solve that problem someday.

At this point my inclination is to leave them as is, but i've always felt that the time to replace is also the time to upgrade. No reason to spend money on brake pads now if I'm gonna switch them out later.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

the stock brakes are pretty good as is, but they'll definately benifit from creamic pads and high-temp fluid, not to mention ceramics last longer and give off less dust.

new rotors are always good, some oem brembos are on all 4 of mine, yes ceramic pads are good, but if you do highway and get them hot metalic are good to (except for that GAWD DAMN SQUEEK)

stock supra brake setup is pretty damn good i must say, you wont wear them out as a dd. just flush the hell out of your system and your good for a long time.
