Default 100% fed up w/ ufo brakes! Need replacement asap!

For my 1991 200 20V. Sick of the warpage and want to change. Considering all options...BUT...I need them to be at least relatively cost-effective. Does anyone have anything for sale? G60's, Porsche 4-pots, etc? Thanks.

Just a thought, it takes massive effort to truly warp rotors, such as this scenario_high speed driving, sustained hard braking and then driving through rain or puddles. (0% of the time what you may experience as brake pedal shudder especially under mild to moderate braking force, is actually pad material build up on the rotor surface. Super cleaning with brake cleaner fluid/spray with some 2,000 grit wet type sand paper, using a circular motion ( clockwise around the rotor) will do the job vs. the quicker but costlier method of "turning the rotors on a Lathe" Shops prefer to turn the rotors shaving a little material because it is fast and cost effective for them.

Dont know if they will help or not but Ive got a set of used stock B5S4 rotors just sitting in my driveway. You are welcome to them if you want to come to Tacoma to get them.

I will have a full UFO kit available in a few weeks. 2Bennett 330mm rotors (relatively fresh rings) with "Big Black" calipers and UFO strut brackets. Also will have a full 2B coilover kit with camber plates available too. I'm basically parting my 200 20v once my S4 is on the road.
