I recently did the 4runner caliper upgrade on my '85 FJ60 since I had to do front brakes and rotors anyhow. Here are my results / observations:
I used '92 4runner calipers. I got these from Autozone. They were about $80 for both loaded with pads. Very inexpensive and have worked very well so far (about 5 months). No problem taking back the LC calipers for the core (core was more than the new calipers!).
I went with Brembo discs. I think these are at least as good as OEM (Brembo makes lots of racing brakes). I ordered these online and they came to a little over $100 for both (including shipping) from autopartswarehouse.com.
I had to do no grinding on the caliper or pads. I did have to cut a little off the backing plate for the new calipers to fit. I just used a dremel w/ a cut-off wheel.
I did not change the master cylinder. It seems to work fine. I will replace it when I put discs on the rear.
