If you are running on stock brakes and just want better brakes for the street, I would suggest a full Teg disk swap. If you are running at the track I would suggest a Fastbrakes setup. It is nice as heck, but expensive too.

I agree, it just depends on the type of driving you will do.

gsr or si disc conversion is cool, otherwise you could go itr for bigger discs and an extra lug
be sure to swap out your mc and bb

If you already have a 99-00SI, then just get a good set of pads and some quality brake fluid like ATE Type200 or ATE Superblue.

I'm running the fastbrakes 11" brake upgrade and I am very satisfied with it's performance. Mine came with 11" Brembo blanks and gsr calipers and my confidence in my car's stopping ability has gone way up.
