Default Rotors and pads

Would powerslot rotors, hawk hps pads, and stainless lines be a good choice for a gt? I have the hawk hps pads but how much better are they with the slotted rotors and stainless lines?

All I can add to this is: Consider the need of your braking system and how you use it. I was going to buy Powerslots with HPS pads and all that stuff and spend big money on all of it, but I decided just to have my stock rotors turned and bought some new Satisfied Pro-Ceramic pads. I flushed the stock fluid and put in Valvoline Super Syn synthetic brake fluid in and I really cant see how any other brakes could be better then mine unless the application was heavy road racing / autocross. Flying down mountain roads or just normal strip duty my brakes are the shizz. Just something to consider before ploping down the heavy bucks.

That's my setup minus steel lines

If I were you I'd spend $350 on a Cobra kit.
If you want better brakes the best way is to increase the disk diameter and pad area. It's all about surface area and leverage.
