I'm the OP. since that original post, I've done:
all new front brakes - pads/rotors. on the rears I managed to keep my stock rotors and do only new pads. flushed the fluid, all new sensors and bolts.
My rotor hats on the fronts rusted pretty badly as I didn't use rotors that had painted hats, so when I painted my brake calipers, I sanded off the rust and painted the hats with a silver engine paint...they turned out nicely.
as to my original idea of do I need to upgrade to bette brakes, like race pads, or drilled/slotted rotors..
geeez, this car stops SO hard on just these stock brakes, I don' thave ANY need for better brakes. I can haul my car down to a halt in nothing flat. Braking is NOT a weak point on this car with just stock stuff.
maybe if i was tracking the car hard i'd want to upgrade...but for spirited street driving, stock is PLENTY!!
