New rotors and brakes


I'm thinking about upgrading my front brake assembly, including the rotors. I don't really want to spend $700 plus for the Brembo stuff. I'm lookin for some drilled or slotted rotors and maybe the rest of the system. Anyone know of some good cheaper brands to go with?

I guess what I am looking for is some input on what needs to be upgraded. Do I pick up just rotors? Do I pick up rotors, pads, calipers? I don't hit the track but want something more than the stockers as sometimes they feel like they just won't hold up.

hey LT.. search craigslist for a set of cheap Cobra or Mach brakes. Slotted rotors don't help much on the weak ass GT brakes.
you will need:
Calipers
Caliper brackets
pads
rotors
(not needed but VERY good idea: Stainless steel brake lines)

here is an ebay one cheap..
