Default Aftermarket brakes??

Since installing the S/C, I've realized the limit of our stock brakes. When I do my suspension, I'd like to do the brakes at the same time.

I was looking to change to Hawk Ceramic pads and possibly changing the rotors too. I've looked on the net and on Ebay alone, there are dozens and dozens of rotor manufacturers/suppliers. Can anyone recommentda good aftermarket rotor that will outperform ours? I want to stay with stock size b/c those "big brake" kits are $$$$!

Thanks.

Dont forget stainless braided brake lines. That is a must with a brake upgrade

Rob,

What about upgrading to the Brembo kit from the GT500?
Its expensive.... but a real upgrade in both size and stoping power.
