I know I will need rotors. Where is a good place to get some affordable slotted or drilled rotors? I know people say they are useless on a DD but I plan to do road racing and autox so they should help a little. Not to mention in 13"s they should look good behind the wheels. Also, I can get the stainless lines for 59 bucks as a package with the calipers. Are the ones they sell good or should I get different ones? Also, what is the story on the pads that are included? I am assuming they are an OEM type pad and not worth keeping. I thought getting some Hawk HPS pads would work much better than the included ones. Where is the cheapest place for the pads? They are like 89 on American Muscle.
when i bought their kit i had to buy a special banjo bolt kit. make sure you get that and stainless steel braided brake lines work good too, just make sure you thread it correctly. somehow i messed that up and had to get new lines.

I am doing the exact same upgrade. I went with a set of drilled slotted rotors, and ss lines. The kit is going in next week. Oh, not sure if I/we need the banjo bolts or not, but I didn't order them. I wasn't going to do the ss lines, but figured it's worth it.

i didnt have to order banjo bolts, stock hardware worked fine. i think its only for the 10th anny cobra calipers. no idea what the difference between the calipers is tho.

Good advice so far guys Looks like I need to check rotor prices around town. Shipping to get rotors here is over 70 bucks....Keep coming with any advice. The website didn't state I needed banjo bolts either..

Confirmed, don't need banjo bolts.

Try Nappa for the OEM (I think they were $50), but I went with these:
