You won't get more stopping power from different brakes. The limiting factor are your tires. The stock brake is more than capable of bringing the tires to the limit (and over = ABS).

All brake upgrade have to do with getting better heat capacity. If you want better stopping power, get better tires.


That being said, you can change the feel of the brakes by getting other brake pads. But it usually comes at a cost of noise etc. The stock pads are designed to handle normal use (like yours) and at the same time not be obtrusive. Changing the rotor will do nothing. The stock rotor is good quality and is being used for racing in the Toyota GT86 CS-V3. The only reason to change the rotor is durability for those tracking their car.

based no your post and the 5 or so "thanks" in response to your post I will be sticking with stock braking system.

I have done some reading on the subject and read that upgraded brakes are more important for braking and maintaining braking over extended driving. I was very accurate in describing my needs and I thank you all for saving me a couple $100.
