Re: Brake System
Selecting brake components depends on what you are planning to do with the car. As an example, I would not put on a set of race compound pads on a mostly street car, because most of the race compound pads require high temperature. So if you are driving your car around town in normal fashion, then those pads actually work worse than the stock pads. So if you are looking for new brake components, I would recommend that you look into sports or premium street pads. I have a set of Hawk HPS on mine and I think it works a lot better than the stock ones. I also hear EBC Green Stuff is pretty nice too. Overall, I think anykind of reputable manufacturer's product should work fine.
Also don't forget about rotors too. Drill and slotted rotors are nice but you can't turn/resurface them. You can look into a big brake kit, but you need to make sure you have larger diameter wheels to accomodate it. Usually 17" rims minimum.
Anyways, when it is all done, make sure to bed your new pads and rotors correctly.
Just for your reference, I have Hawk EPS pads with Brembo Blank Rotors and I really can feel the difference feom the stock setup without being too harsh.
