Default Suspension/Brake System

Curious to know if anyone has done anything major or minor to their suspension because with power comes stopping power unless you want to rearend someone. So i was wondering exactly how hard it would be to get some different calipers and slotted rotors. The rotors are decent priced for around like 100 bucks for each and drums are damn cheap, like around 35. Struts and ball bearings also very affordable i imagine. Is this all pretty easy to install. My main concern is the calipers. Mine have seen better days, they look like they've taken on some serious rust.

Most of us run stock calipers with ceramic pads and quality rotors. I prefer slotted, some do not.

Ball bearings? You mean hubs? You have to replace the entire hub assembly, not just the bearings.

Anything to get rid of and clean up the rust on the old calipers?

That'* a question better answered in Detailing and Appearance. Post that question there. This is the PERFORMANCE section.
