Nope, unless you're gonna go from 140 to 80 to hit a turn. A good set of pads is what you want. Otherwise the rotors are just there to look pretty

No, drilled rotors certainly aren't worth the extra money. They easily stress crack. Sloted rotors, perhaps, depending on what you are using them for. On the street or for autox, no. For the track, yes there are benefits.

Get dual piston calipers, better pads, and steel braided brake lines, that will tighten up your braking alot more and feel alot firmer.
