while looking for a full uk set up i came across these on PHR site....

 

Item Stoptech Front 13'' or 14'' Big Brake Kit for 1993-98 Supra

Item # Stop Big Brake Kit

 

 

Stoptech Big Brake Kits give your vehicle that Supercar look and feel, and exceed stock performance in two areas. First, larger rotors increase heat capacity. Second, stiffer calipers and stainless steel lines reduce system compliance.

 

The key, however, is to increase heat capacity and reduce compliance without upsetting the stock front to rear brake torque ratio. If the brake upgrade you select adds too much front torque (as many do), you reduce your car's ability to utilize the tractive capacity of all of the tires to the maximum practical extent (even on ABS equipped cars) and you therefore create performance sacrifices. In addition, too many pistons or pistons that are too large will make the brake pedal much more difficult to modulate, which limits a driver's control of brake input on the race track.

 

Feature Benefit Summary:

Balanced Brake Upgrades with optimum brake bias offer the shortest stopping distance with the best pedal feel

Our patented AeroRotors with the best airflow available result in better cooling, less fade and longer rotor and pad life

The stiffest aftermarket calipers with patented bridge result in better clamping under hard braking and less pad taper

Track testing of new applications ensures optimum performance

 

This kit is a complete four wheel brake upgrade featuring 355x32mm floating directional front rotors and 355x32mm floating directional rear rotors with billet aluminum hats, ST40 four piston high performance calipers, front and rear stainless steel DOT compliant brake lines, and AXXIS Ultimate brake pads.

 

 

 

Note: that 18" wheels are required for Big Brake Kit to fit. Stoptech Rotors are available only in Cross-drilled OR Slotted. Please choose the desired Caliper color, size of Rotor, and if Cross-Drilled or Slotted below.

so from what i can gather for just over £1200 you can get a full set of brakes, disks, pads and lines?

 

but then i found these...
