SA63 brake up grade options

I've searched and found that the MA61 looks like the donor vehicle of choice.
But had yet to hear of anybody doing it. Lots of people suggest it but nobody mentioned doing it.
I have a T series diff and was thinking of swapping in a supra diff.
I plan on installing a 1ggte into my SA63.
Now having said all this it's not for performance it's just to get it past transport. I Rang up the guy and he said i needed to upgrade my brakes, But i wasn't sure where to start.
Should i go rear disk brakes or bigger drums ? should i swap in bigger front disks or leave them alone (i hear they are the same as MA61's anyway)
I don't really want to go up in wheel size cuz i want the car to still look normal.
Any experience/opinion would be great.
Thanks mookie

You'd better find out what you're required to do as part of a "brake upgrade" before you go any further. Swapping an entire MA61 rear subframe would be a good choice though; that way you get an F-series LSD and disc brakes. Your T diff probably won't last long with a 1G.
For front upgrades, there are a few options; just do a search for MA61 brake upgrades, there have been a few threads covering this topic in depth and it all applies to your car as well. Note that the stockers are about as big as you'll fit under 14" wheels though, so any worthwhile upgrade will require bigger wheels.

I spose i could find some 15/16 inch steel wheels and just put wheel covers on them.
I never thought to looks up MA61 brake up grade evn though i knew they were pretty much the same as SA63 brakes.
