Don't buy the brembo big brake kit unless you have much larger than stock rims. Even then, check the fitment carefully.

has a big brake kit that is supposed to fit behind stock rims, but I don't have personal experience with them.

I sell upgraded brembo rotors in stock sizes that work very well. Unless you just want the look of a big brake kit there will really be no advantage going that large or spending that much money.

Yeah, I too have been thinking about getting some Brembo drilled & vented rotors, along with a good set of ceramic pads, before next summer. The stock brakes work well enough on the street, but I am guessing that I will need better thermal performance and increased resistance to fade when I take the car racing next summer.
