A lot better than Sprinter brakes, that's for sure! For starters they're ventilated which is a huge improvement in itself, and they're also bigger (258mm, not sure what Sprinter discs are but they're tiny). The caliper is pretty good too, only single piston but plenty of pad area which is the main thing.

Simon is over-simplifying things a little though! You need to use the entire MA61 hub assembly, which has the side effect of increasing the wheel offset by about 9mm each side. You have to use the MA61 calipers and they won't bolt on to the RA40 strut so you need to fabricate a new backing plate. If you want more details you'll find them on my web site - I did this conversion on my RA23 Celica a while ago.
