[QUOTE="CJHAMIL, post: 17004307, member: 131737"] Upgrading the stock brakes is a good option. The first brake upgrade I did was StopTech slotted cryo rotors, Hawk HPS pads, Motul RBF660 fluid and Russell SS lines. It was a good setup and did well on the street for everyday driving. Also provided that emergency stopping power if required. I did feel like it left a lot to be desired for spirited driving and in the looks department. My second setup was a 2000 Cobra R setup. I kept using StopTech cryo rotors and Hawk HPS pads with the Motul RBF660. This setup was amazing for street use and did the things required for spirited driving. There was no modifications required for installing them either. They had a good resistance to fade and were consistent regardless of temperature. They also looked better than the stock calipers and gave an OEM plus feel as if the 03/04 Cobra should have came with them from the factory. Admittedly my third setup is absolutely stupid, way too expensive and overkill for 99% of people out there. I now have a Brembo GT kit with 14" rotors and 6 piston calipers, and there rear setup is a 13" FTBR two piece rotor conversion with Hawk HPS pads. I still run the Motul RBF660 like before. This brake setup is amazing and will blow your mind. They really put it into perspective why there are levels to braking performance. They feel amazing on the street and they will make you kiss the windshield under hard braking conditions. Plus they look flat out amazing. I think total the brake setup was around $5,200. Worth it to me? Yes. Worth it to everyone else? Probably not. Would I do it again? Yes. I would say the best bang for the buck and my recommendation for what route to go is the second setup.
