I'm wanting to upgrade my brakes. I don't want anything that's overkill, since my car will never see a track. Any suggestions?

Im not sure what your price range is for this mod, but EBC pads alone for all four corners will be around $160 max if I remember their prices correctly.
Oh and also some stainless steel lines would be a good buy as well. those slipped my mind. I dont see you needing slotted rotors or anything, and buying new blank faced rotors is essentially the same as resurfacing you original one. As long as your rotor's have enough life in them still, id just resurface and re-use. Depending on the shop you take it to, re-surfacing will run you around $30 a rotor --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

My price range is about $500. I was planning on doing stainless steel lines too. -------------------- JDM Part King
