Default Need to upgrade brakes...Suggestions????

I need to upgrade my stock brakes on my '99 Si. I need something that will fit under my stock 15's, but most importantly I need them to fit under my 13 inch Bogarts. I was thinking of keeping the stock calipers and upgradeing the pads with some Hawks or Padgets. As for the rotors there seem to be many options out there, although which to choose. I was thinking of using Brembo crossed drilled, although they don't come drilled from Brembo. Who's using crossed drilled Brembo's, and what do you think of them?
Also any suggestions would help.
Or better yet list your setups.
Thank's, David.

Stainless lines (Goodrich)
Porterfield R4S pads (or axxis ultimates, hawk hp+, or something similar)
Motul 600 fluid or ATE blue.
Brembo blanks
Stock calipers

That's a proven recipe for much better braking without putting too much of a hurt on your wallet.
