iirc there should be a thread on brake setups somewhere here... unless you put some big, heavy wheels and make a bunch more power than stock, don't worry about upgrading to a bbk - just get quality pads and rotors.

i'm running the 1 piece 13" AP racing set up with 4 piston calipers from Stillen. I would highly recommend them!! PERFECT for the heavy braker if you like to drive in the windies and need to pound them often, or if you want the added safety when driving on the freeway. THEY STOP ON A DIME!!

upgrading your pads may help, but it's minimal

do the brakes b4 you get more power b/c one you get the HP Gain, you wont have money ready and available for the brake system.

here ya go!

not a bad setup but probably pretty spendy?
