just get some new pads like axxis or project Mu and get some slotted/cross drilled rotors and it will make a difference

A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT IDEAS, try the pads and rotors and add some steel braided lines for pedal feel, or go full monty and get some legend 2 piston calipers and the prelude 4 - 114.3 and get the rotors redrilled for the 4 - 100 the bracket for the calipers will have to be shaved 4 mm to fit rite, but a nice set up indeed

Do you guys even have an idea WHY your recommending these parts?

EGvsEM: Front calipers with larger piston area will only serve to push brake bias forward on an already forward biased brake system. This means you will further reduce the amount of braking in the rear in proportion to the front. The end result is the fronts locking up WAY sooner than before with increased overall stopping distance...

Lmgrcivic: You will never notice ANY difference in performance by "upgrading" to slotted or drilled rotors. You may notice an increased tendancy to "crack" the rotors though if you put drilled ones on cars. You will notice that NO race cars use drilled rotors. This is because they tend to crack much easier. For the price, a good blank rotor WILL perform the best. The better pads were definitely a good recommendation though...

pawel2k: For better performance, you would do best to simply upgrade the pads, fluid, & brake lines. Then replace the rotors with fresh brembo blanks. If you want looks, then I suggest fastbrakes 11"-rotor 4-piston-caliper kit to fit your wheels...

Preach on brotha!!

Yes, some carbotec's 1110's, good fluid, and tires will transform your car's ability to stop...

Is this a street or track recommendation that you are asking for?
