Big brake kits

stage 1 kits
pads

depending on your budget and how nutty you want to be.

get pad and better tire first. They make the most difference in stopping power.

if you' dont mind waiting for some high quality brakes and paying what its worth I'm working on getting some ultra cool brakes made for our the xB2. I'm shelling out of pocket to get brackets made because these guys dont' believe the Scion market is worth dabbling into and they're probably right. But I want them and it'll be worth it! And it'll be a fun Project!!!

I'll update in a few weeks..... yes its 100% Japanese made and yes its a brand that actually does real 100% R&D and NO they dont source parts from China or Taiwan etc...

If you just simply want a quick fix for better braking, I would get Project Mu brake pads, and HKS brake fluid, get steel braided brake line. If you're rolling on the stock tires..... they are subpar and I'd change tires next opportunity I get. I truly believe you'll be amazed with just steel brake lines and new fluids.

How much can that stereo actually weigh? I can't imagine it weighs more than the average size person. I tow a trailer and atv and mine still stops fine.
