if they make FRPP C springs that most likely would be the cheapest and ideal...its a 1inch drop in the back and 1.25 up front...

that's not what i meant... i was asking if he wanted a real brake up grade instead of just some c/d and slotted rotors..
i think i know that rotors are part of a braking system.

oh and you might want to check you caliper clearance before you buy those new brakes or you'll end up buying a new set of rims.
