Cheapest way to improve braking

What's the cheapeast way to improve braking performance w/o spending a lot of money.

I know that some brake mods can be very expensive - like 4 digits

Powerslot rotors, Hawk +P pads, and stainless steel brake lines. Throw in some better brake fluid i.e. Motul and that should provide you with much improved braking without costing a fortune. Check out Brenspeed.com as I believe he has a nice kit already put together at a good price.

I noticed that Bremspeed.com has 2 kits.
One with the rotors and one without.
Do the rotors do much for braking performance or is that mostly cosmetic?

slotted rotors made a huge difference on my f250.im sure changing out the pads to a performance pad rather than oem at the same time helped as well.the deal at brenspeed seems like a winner to me,for the price.i wish the drilled rotors were more dependable.they look bada5s behind your wheels.

Yea, I head that drilled rotors tend to crack more than slotted.
If I got the rotors, I'd get the slotted ones.
