You do. Honestly, it isnt worth the upgrade right now man. Spend your money in better places. Go to any auto parts store and they will have replacement rotors and calipers there that you can put on if you just need new ones. Upgrade brakes once you have a need too.

unnecessary and costly. Spend the extra money somewhere else.

dont go with slotted and drilled rotors, unless u are doing a lot of racing with brakes and watnot they are just gonna wear ur pads down faster...

also its a bit early to do brakes, get some power in the car and then do the brakes when u need them the v6 brakes arent bad till u add nos/turbo/super
