FB big brake upgrade kit?

Anyone know of an aftermarket upgrade kit for an FB? My friend has a Turbo II motor swap in an FB...extra fast but doesn't stop very well! Any advice would be helpful...

does he have 12A or 13B brakes? are they old, are the rotors worn? are the pads junk?

If you have excellent 13B brakes and they still fade then look into big brakes. otherwise buy some news stock parts.

RE Mazda just came out with a great kit to put T2 brakes on a first gen.
Light, inexpensive, and simple.

TII converion kits are the best for simplicty and they make it easy since your using factory parts.
The Selectmaz kit is nice and uses slightly bigger rotors.It stops awesome,but is pricey.......BTW,bigger brakes are pointless without bigger or stickier tires....
