To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the friggin' question that I can't seem to answer!! Read on...
It's time for rotors and pads. I've searched far and wide using that crazy intraweb thingy. I have finally narrowed it down to two choices.
1- Stock rotors and pads. Pros: Fairly cheap, they work, and I know exactly what I'd get. Cons: Kinda boring, kinda ugly - I want something that looks better behind my wheels.
2- Stoptech Stage 2 (Included in the link). Pros: *Potentially* better braking, a better look. Cons: More $$, will they really work?, and is it really worth it?
I've also heard a few things from different people about the Stoptech upgrade. I've heard a couple really good reviews. And I've heard that they are basically just generic stuff with the Stoptech name and a jacked up price. Can anyone tell me what I'd really be buying if I did that? Or any other thoughts???
Thank you to all who have helped me out with this so far. Believe me, it helps!<ul><li><a href="http://www.stoptech.com/products/stage1_2_upgrades.shtml">Stoptech Stage 2</a></li></ul>

I have StopTech S2 (and so does LowCountry).....
I use them at Road Atlanta and on the Dragon regularly. EXCELLENT: linear, no fade, straight, great feel and modulation. Others have driven the setup on R/A and complimented the braking.
You won't get anywhere close on stock rotors. your fade will be horrible, and early, IMO.
