Brembo brakes are great I have had them on quite a few of my cars. But I have found for brake upgrades Wilwood actually makes a superior product. They are also half of the price of the Brembo BBK ( big brake kit). If you arent going to be building a track monster you will want plain rotors not drilled. The drilled rotors actually hinder performance slightly because there is less braking surface. The only real benefit to a drilled rotor is cooling during extreme conditions. IE race track. The other draw back to a drilled rotor is that they are prone to warping and can explode if shocked. IE a glowing brake rotor and you drive into a huge puddle.

One very important things is to get steel brake lines. They increase the brake feel substantially and cost next to nothing.

Hope I have helped you out
