I don't know how you can say that. I have two hilux's one with the prado upgrade and the other with DBA discs and Bendix pads.
When I jump out of one into the other the difference is MASSIVE. I do a lot of towing (a race car and horses) and stopping is so far improved after the upgrade it is incredible. I paid 300 for the calipers with standard pads from a wrecker and just bought some new discs for 250.
Probably the best upgrade I have done.
