i upgraded to S brakes on my car. HUGE difference. the only real differences up front are larger rotors & pads. in back, the difference is thicker rotors. the brakes are much easier to modulate, allowing consistently shorter stopping distances. at the track, my fade problems were solved.

for the upgrade, you can really skip the rear. just do the front calipers, pads and rotors. they bolt right up. buy cross vented rear rotors and you're all set.
