Default Big Brake Kit?

What components do I need to complete a big brake kit set-up, without dropping bank on a big brake kit? For all four wheels?

only the fronts need bigger brakes in the rear you can go with slotted rotor with better pads.

I see. I'm usually going for a visual appearance since I don't slam my brakes all that hard.

STOPTECH/Brenspeed offers a Slotted or Drilled package with new rotors, performance pads, with stainless brake lines for about $750 (ALL 4 CORNERS). give you some looks and great performance without doing a caliper swap. You could paint your calipers for the look.

I did exactly what White Lightening suggested: new rotors/pads/braided lines all around and painted my calipers black. My set-up is now more than capable for anything I do, haven't noticed any fade.
FWIW I read a lot of bad press about Slot Tech's rotors, a tendency to crack, which is why I went with Baer.

what is the difference between slotted and drilled rotors, and do they hold any significance over the other?
