And what I believe is a 4Runner ABS BMC.
According to this.
Maybe dukes can chime in. | How is the brake feel on the 4runner MBC? I eventually wanna get the 93 brakes, but it's super hard to find the 93 BMC.

Have driven a 91 MR2, and it feels like poo.
My current brake setup feel like driving a Track package 350Z. Stiff pedal, and great modulation under hard braking. Feels better than a 240sx w/ Z32 Brakes + braided lines.
Heel+toe:
Low speed takes practice. Requires much less pedal pressure compared to stock lines.
High speed feels great. No "dead pedal" feel. Example: Your foot is down hard, and braking harder isn't really doing anything. It's not brake fade, it's just shitty clamping force.
Daily driving:
Overkill. But completely fine.
I locked up a few times braking and hitting bumps, but found out that it was a dirty ABS sensor. (Like Renfrew Nbound, at Grandview)
Emergency situations: Stops HARD. Girl was not happy when she was putting on her contacts.

Nothing like owning two broken vehicles.

A friend of mine with some professional equipment spent a full day waxing and cleaning the disgusting grime off from all over the car. Now it looks amazing, minus the blemishes that you can see clearly now. Bittersweet.
Also Removed the Subaru badge from the right side of the trunk and the STi rally sticker that came with the car. I think it looks way cleaner. I'm still using a potato iPhone 4, sorry.  Before: (The only picture that I could find showing both)  After:  | |

I'll probably try the bride seats out, I hear from friends they're cheaper and wider. Maybe even RSX cloth grey to match the stock interior.

Same experience.
BBK = cool for show cars and/or track. Stops on a dime.
But for practical, daily use = never again. The 93+ factory setup is awesome, even by today's standards.

I hate admitting this, but the stock brakes on the 93+ MR2 were better than the E36 M3 and my E91.
