Default System Upgrade

SO I was wandering around ZZP and such. I need new brake pads soon. What Upgrades fit on the 97 SE 16" rim A little stopping power would be very nice impress my friends with a full size car that can dive into the corner.

Ceramic pads and drilled and slotted rotors will make a huge difference. The first time I power braked after doing the same, I actually bit the end of my nose I stopped so quick!

I thinks Dan'* face fell off the first time he power braked with his ceramic pads and rotor combo.

My lips hit the windshield.

Go on Ebay and find R1concepts, they sell rotors at a great price.
