How about you tell us what braking system you have up front currently, as stating that you have ‘original’ in the front means nothing, especially since you are in France. Some 40 series could have had drum brakes, some could have had disc brakes.

I have the 4-runner calipers in the front with GM discs in the rear with a stock master and booster and it stops 36's with very low pedal effort.

Search for "forerunner" for the front brakes. I'm assuming your running a vacuum booster, if not one will help, or you could run a hydroboost, but that would require a power steering pump.

A search of "better brakes" in the 40 section will give you lot's ro read.

If that fails the FAQ has stuff on brake conversions

thanks

for the information i've front oem disk from a BJ42 and actually 80 disk brake on the rear, but stop is not so good on the front...

i take a look on 4-runner calipers, but i was looking for another brand which could adapt instead of toyota caliper

You might want to try EBC green pad for them. It takes about 1000 miles to get the pads broken in but they stop on a dime.
