I just did my brakes on saturday. I put new brembo rotors -$210 (rears off ebay, front off some website) and OEM pads -$110. Great combination, best quality and value. Brakes are too important to go cheap and screw around with.

I purchased from these links:

Rear Rotors:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 7956212455
Front Rotors:
http://replacement.autopartswarehouse.c ... sc&dp=true

Pads:
Local Toyota Dealership, I had a friend from another dealership order them so they were $87 instead of $108 plus tax.

This was all for a 1999 solara sle, it should be the same for you too.

Got my front cross-drilled from tirerack.com
Haven't replaced the rear ones yet, but it brakin' good, better than before.

That cop must have been a real a$$ to give a marine a ticket. I always though that the men and women of the armed services were given a break.

If you want stock braking power just get oem rotors and pads.

For a little better braking with low dust/noise, go with brembo blanks and hawk hps pads. I have this setup on my camry and i've very satisfied.

You need to get this set from Ebay, great price for Brembo front and back cross drilled and slotted, and the best of all, zinc plated, no rust, I bought them and very happy with it:

I had a set from the group buy a long time ago, sucked and rusted so bad. This set from eBay kick ass, looks shiny too!
