if you want better stopping power, get brembo blanks with hawk HPS front and rear. if you want looks, get drilled/slotted, but dont race or autox with them. blanks are the best for stopping power, dont believe anyone who tells you different. drilled/slotted will hold up fine for the street and look alot better, so if thats all youre after, youll be fine with them.
