Get some Brembo blank rotors and a nice set of Hawk or Carbotech pads and it will be plenty of braking grip for you. Remember your brakes can only work as good as your tires.

Do not waste your time on slotted or drilled rotors.

black = blank---&gt;Typo

I would change out the fluid also to the Valvoline ( http://www.valvoline.com/pages...ct=51 ) or a like product with a high boiling point.

Don't waste your time with EBC get Hawk or Carbotech
