Brakes!

So I'm looking for some nice brakes and I realize with teh wheels I have I cannot use a big brake package but I wanted to know what you guys would suggest. I saw rayman is using the following and was wondering how these compare in yalls opinion:

I would think those and some of the better aftermarket pads would do alright for you. I can't think of the brand of pads off-hand, but I know they've been mentioned on here a few times.

I’m in the same boat. I need to change my wheels before I can put on the 4-piston Brembos. Until I change my wheels I’m keeping the stock rotors, other have upgraded to 14” rotors with stock calipers. I personally don’t think replacing the stock rotors with slotted & cross drilled ones are worth the money. Especially if you can get a stock set for $40. Both Hawk and EBC have better pads. Beware depending on what pads you get you will reduce the rotor life. That’s another reason to leave the rotors stock, only $40 for a new set. If you must, you can always paint the caliper if you need the bling.
