Performance Brakes
Does any company carry aftermarket brakes for a 99 Expy to improve stopping?
I don't want to spend 3-4g's on Brembo's
and I have seen the Power slot brakes they are crap.
I would like something with cross drilled with big 14 inch disc.
Has anyone upgraded there braking systems on there SUV?

hrm, drilling and slotting is for looks only. Pads do not gas anymore. Plus the drilling and slotting causes the rotors to crack. bad news.
Really unless you want to drop the money for the brembos, options are limited. If you want 14" you are going to have to pay for a brake kit and 18"+ wheels to fit that rotor under.
I assume you have rear disc? Well get some better high performance pads for the back. Up front, you can upgrade to the larger 7700 payload package calipers. They have larger pistons in them for increased clamping force. Add some high performance pads to those and you should be able to stay under $300 there.
