What intensions do you have with the car? Street only? Track?

I would venture to say if track use is your goal, you'd be better off with some blanks, upgraded pads and some better brake fluid. Another thing you can add to the mix for better braking feel is stainless steel lines.

I'd go with that even for street use

get some blank rotors, Hawk HP+ Pads, SS lines, and ATE Super Blue. Crossdrilled and slotted don't do much other than being more prone to warping and cracking

steel is steel. If you want to go with bling then get the slotted.

I'm about to install authentic Brembo slotted fronts and Stoptech slotted rears w/ Cobalt GTS pads all around. The rotors are definitely not needed and blanks will work just fine. I just like wasting money .

Braking performance is dictated mostly by the pad chosen along with fluid to raise the boiling point and SS lines for a better pedal feel.

I agree that the rotors aren't important, and that the pads and fluid are.

I don't think you need SS lines. People say you need them if you have a spongy brake pedal, because the brake lines are old and bulging. I've never experienced a spongy brake pedal on my ITR, and I have over 6K actual track miles on mine with the original brake lines. My brakes feel fine, including the pedal feel.

I suppose you're right. Technically there is nothing wrong with the stock lines at all. If they were to be replaced, however, I would recommend a SS line with the outside protective sheath like Stoptech or Russell. Otherwise dirt and debris could cause a failed/burst line by working its way in through the mesh.

With the SS lines I don't feel as bad letting my calipers hang for a few min while I swaping rotors.
