Brake upgrade

I see some aftermarket brake upgrades, (Baer, SS Brakes, etc.). Has anyone purchased on of these? How bout just power slot rotors?

The best I've seen is the Brembo Big Brake kit. Goes for like 2 grand or so. Comes with 2-piece rotors, 6-piston calipers, pads, lines etc. Brembo is pretty much the king of the brake world, so you can't go wrong.

I have seen drilled/slotted rotors on Ebay for like $200. If they are not Brembos, be weary. They are usually OEM rotors that have been drilled out. They may look cool, but are not designed to be drilled. They can crack when heated, and lead to a nightmare of an accident.....
