More than likely yes, but you are not going to notice a whole lot difference with just pads... Try upgrade to slotted on drilled rotors you'll like it!

Put new fluid in when you change your pads. They are quite good, and will not fade as fast as the stock pads...

They do offer better grip and they aren't as hard on your rotors.

dont waste your money on just pads. I got hawk pads and brembo DS rotors and didnt really notice anything. the cobra kit will be cheaper than doing what i did. get cobra brakes or if you want to go all out get baer wilwood or brembo.

 Um, what? Cross-drilled and/or slotted rotors will only help if the braking problems experienced are due to the build-up of gasses under the brake pad. Most of the improvement you'll see in your braking system will be upgrading your front pads. If you're having problems with brake fade, then yes, pads won't likely be the total answer. But for improving your cold braking (i.e. not doing laps on a racetrack), upgraded pads should be more than sufficient.
