Don’t bother with old calipers either, they are cheap new. A rebuild kit for old ones is like $75 per caliper.
Original booster is OK, but pedal feel is very soft. I fitted a modified VT Commodore/Calais double diaphragm one.
From memory you don’t need lines, the Hilux pipes connect up to the 120 series calipers.
If your budget can stretch to it buy Aussie made T2 or T3 rotors, they are about $210 each. You can buy cheap Chinese junk for like $75 a rotor too.
Make sure you spend half hour a side cleaning the hub faces too, get rid of all scale/rust. Very important.

Spend the money on the booster if you think you need to after you have done the calipers.

Thanks mate
Do you happen to have a link or know where to get brand new calipers?
Will be getting T2 rotors as they seem to be on sale on sparesbox quite often
Was there a really big noticeable difference changing over from stock booster to VT/Calais?
