What are your driving habits? Will you road race it?

I would recommend the Baer Eradispeed Rotors both front and rear. Upgrade to an LS1 front brake caliper and steering upright, on eBay they go for about $150-$200 for both sides, some nice HAWK pads, Earl's braided hoses and you should have a wicked setup.

Trust me, its not that hard.

If you were to what I posted.

Eradispeed Rotors $600
Earls Lines $100
LS1 Brake Swap $200
HAWK Pads $150

So around $1050, but that would be one hell of a brake system and you would'nt overwork your pads... if you want a good cheap setup for occasional track use, like maybe 1 or 2 20 minute sessions a year. Go with the Thunder Racing kit, but with my setup you'd drop around 30-40lbs on the front end.
