I don't believe so, there are options, but they're not cheap.
http://svx-motorsport-accessories.stores.yahoo.net/ They have one, but it's near $3000. I know origional tom has one, but i'm not sure of it's cost. I have drilled/slotted rotors i picked up for $200, and my svx has pretty healthy stopping power. Remember, if you can get abs to kick in, it's not better brakes you need, but better tires.

Jeff,
Talk to Old Tom. I'm not sure if his kit is ready, but it will be less than $3k I've driven his car with the Big Brakes and it is a nice improvement I thought you just bought brakes for your SVX???

Rotors and pads, calipers
Get yourself some slotted and drilled rotors from raceconcepts, around $200 for all four. A set of Akebono ProAct Ceramic pads, $60 a pair from TireRack. If your calipers are working normal you should have plenty of stopping power for everyday driving. I replaced all four of my calipers with NuGeon powder coated, cause mine were rusted and frozen. Brakewarehouse.com is who I got mine from. You could skip the powder coat if you wanted, cause its expensive. I bought 2 sets for both of my 96's. Fronts are $234.99 plus $120 core charge, Rears are $219.99 with $70 core charge. Those are powder coated charges only, obvioulsy non poweder coated will be much cheaper. Also replaced the brake lines with Stainless ones from Dayle at MotorsportsWarehouse, and my brakes are fantastic. If you contact brakewarehouse.com, ask for Robert Mack, he helped me with everything and is great.
