Default Big brakes for 99 si ?

I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my 99 si, but i want to keep my 15" wheel size. Most kits i see are for 16 and up. Can anybody point me into the direction of a set of upgraded rotors that will fit with stock wheels, and maybe a good pad recommendation also.

P.S im not too concerned with changing calipers just a nicer rotor and good pads


Thanks

How about some Brembo blanks and hawk pads?

No kits will let you keep your 15" wheels.
Just upgrade the rotors and pads.
Pads will be the biggest improvement to the braking system, and go with a good name brand rotor, like Brembo.

Going with larger kits, you can run into problems. I have friends who have run Wilwood kits, but always had issue with rotors that warp. Since they use a 4-piston caliper, they run a much narrower rotor, which warps easily. I have a Baer kit, which comes with a 2-piston caliper, and the rotor is much more beefy than the Wilwood kit and never had issues with warping. The rotor size on the Baer kit dwarfs that of the Wilwood. Both require 17" wheels though.
