try pads first. EBC green stuff pwnz.

if you want more stopping power, then try braided steel brake lines or getting new rotors such as stop-tech, brembo, endless or wilwood.

and if you want even more stopping power get a big brake kit with bigger calipers, but that's the priciest option. BY A LOT.

unless ur putting down some major power and/or do alot of track racing(ie: road course), theres no real reason except for style to get anything more than some good pads. like byers said, green stuff is pretty popular. dont forget, great stopping power is only as good as ur tires, so getting some nice sticky tires will help lower stopping distance aswell..

^agreed. You don't need a BBK unless you plan on putting down big number, or if you just brake really hard all over town.
