Ummm, get new brake pads and rotors, braided stainless steel lines, or even better fluid...
Why would you want to blow $1000+ on a bling brake set-up because "you don't feel nice with your brakes"?

But what is the problem with the stock brake system? Can you still easily lock up the wheels? Are you having fade problems?

4 spoon calipers is not the problem, you need to learn how to drive. Spoon calipers were not designed to 'improve highway stopping'.

Brembo blanks (get the x-drilled/slotted brembos if you must have bling) + Hawk pads FTW!

Just get some Hawk or Cobalt pads I am sure with a stock EK that will be more than enough stopping power, you'd be very surprised. Try some new pads before you spend money on a big brake kit.

You can get the Blue 4pot Spoon Calipers in the front and the Gold Spoon 2pot for the rear( I think its 2pot, dont remmeber). If you stay 4lug it can cost you at least $3400 for the whole kit.

ralphy44, if you are serious about braking performance (and not just "bling"), then you should go to stoptech.com and read all the great informative articles that they have in their "technical" and "FAQ" sections. This will tell you EVERYTHING you wanted to know about brakes and then some. Some of the articles are rather technical, but once you understand the concepts of automotive braking, you will never look at it the same way again...
They do sell big brake kits, but your gonna realize you don't even need them...

Always will be...
The best part is that it increases the performance of EVERY aspect of the vehicle (except road noise)...
