Looking for a complete brake setup

Need opinions on rotors/pads/etc . My rotors are just about cooked, so Im looking for an upgrade in my brake system. Any suggestions? My budget is pretty well held up so one of the best would be nice. Thanks

Baer makes nice setups...very expensive though. the set for my GP is roughly $1400 for front and rear rotors, pads, calipers, and braided lines.

Im running:
Power Slot Rotors
Hawks Pads
Earls Steel Braided Brake Lines

Im VERY satisfied with the performance. Probably over the summer Im going to upgrade the rears as well to a 98+ set-up using Hawks Pads & Power Slot Rotors.

i used to run that combination and it was amazing. ls1tech has two brake companies that offer GPs on rotor/pad upgrades. one runs about 300 and the other 400, both shipped. supposedly they are just as good as alex's combo but more then half the price. the one company that sells for 300 has ****** customer service so i would buy from the other guy for that extra 100 bucks. i can supply links if you are interested

I'm using the same setup and I can't complain.

I'm thinking of doing that but at the same time upgrading to the C5 stuff. Not sure yet.
