Default How much are upgraded brakes...what do you recomend?

And can i still use stock sport wheels until i get new rims or do rims first? (But remember bigger tires means longer distance to stop like on those damn SUVs)

Default That depends ...

If you are tracking the car seriousily then go for a big brake kit. Otherwise invest in some good quality pads and call it a day.

Use the search and you will find lots of discussion about this topic.

If you don't need big brakes, do what i did. Upgrade rotors/pads/lines for $500.
