I agree with kwanza. I just put on crossed drilled rotors on my GT and I really don't feel a big difference from stock (non drilled) rotors. The only thing that makes me say "wow" is when I see them on the car.
bigger brakes will make the car stop better but do you really need them to ? the stock brakes work well when they have good pad/rotors. IMO it isn't worth it unless you are going for a "bling" upgrade factor. If you really want an upgrade then switch to SS braided lines, that seems to be the weakest point of our braking system, which is minimal. -------------------- |
