    I simply went with the Zimmerman crossed drilled rotors and some pagid brakes, much better than stock, less brake dust, and better than average stopping power.

    Why do you not use the parking brake?

    If you move the fronts to the back you would have to have some way to reposition the calipers. Also you would probably upset the brake bias.

    Doesn't SPP sell a lot of different types of rotors? I'd prolly get some spp rotors, some ceramic pads, and some racing fluids. Maybe some ss lines. Costs shouldn't be too bad I don't think
