    so its about time for me to change all of my brakes

    im getting new rotors brake lines and pads

    should i stick to the stock??
    or go w/ some better

    i will be tracking this car and street use so i need something good for both

    i was thinking of
    -stainlesteel brake lines
    -hp plus high performance street plus race worthy brake pads from tire rack
    -cryo-stop rotors from tire rack

      Most folks will find HP+ pads to be too noisy for the street (they squeal), though they do provide a lot of performance. And they are rather rough on the rotors. Hawk HPS or Axxis Ultimates are a good street pad, though not up to the level pf performance of the HP+ pads. The simple fact is that a good track pad isn't suitable for the street and vice versa. But for a beginner, the brakes won't be the limiting factor until you have done a few DE's, at which time one set of pads for the street and a different set for the track is the way to go.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        Ireland Engineering. They have a nice kit. Along with some better rotors and pads other than the red ones.

          Go to Turner or Bimmerworld.

          Here's Turner's kit:

          Choose the Maxxis Ultimate pads and stainless lines, and it will be all you need.
