Something like STOCK is best.
If you are running giant tires, an upgrade might help, but I can trip the ABS with 275s out back and 245s in front, so unless you are on race rubber, you will not see a performance benefit from bigger brakes. (Unless you are having real heat issues.)

I don't buy Kool-Aid
I know right, and Hawk states on there web site they state; low brake dust B.S., low noise thats B.S. too. Maybe it was just me or a bad set of pads but I had them on in the blister heat of 100-120 and they still sucked.
Great stopping power but all the rest is for craps. I like the oem set up. Get the mastercyl brace and change your brake fluid often if you track or drive in the rain a lot and your good to go.

I'm using front project mu 4 port BBK with 345mm rotor, rear Autoexe standard size 2 pieces slotted rotor. What I can say is, not so practical for town use (need to look at the back before braking, to avoid butt being kissed :D ). Use the master cylinder stopper on standard brake will be good enough. BTW, the original front caliper is super huge, the cyl size looks scary when removed. Like 4-5 ports all add together. Pay few times of pad price to have a bbk is just a waste if not use on track. I bought it more for cosmetic purpose. Regretted, but since the kit was expensive, need to use for a while before can let it go.

Good spot!
I've gone and replaced just the rotors with slotted & cross drilled ones and l have to say, there isn't much difference from stock (not that l've done any test, just been once on the track to be honest). Probably best to keep that $2000, unless you really need to change your rotors?
