80 series frount brakes

just wondering if any body has any ideas about fitting bigger callepers and brake pads to the front of my 80. as the standerd brakes are the same as a 4 runner and dont stop very well and tend to wear very fast.

Jason I have an 80 series and sure they could be better but they were designed for them so should wear ok, just have to change them when required.

i have heard that you can 100 series brake pads and this can help. I have fitted slotted rotors and rebuilt the calipers, but the brakes still seem sub standard. going to try the 100 series pads next
