Default Brakes...which kit?

Well, I am gonna get the Bullitt front brake kit and prolly the rear as well.

Do I buy the stock Bullitt kit for about $450 that includes painted calipers, flat rotors, pads, and brake lines?

Or, get the Bullitt calipers, with FRPP slotted and drill rotors, brake lines for about $500 ish?

So basically, the question is, slotted and drilled vs plain.

One more thing, if I get the first kit, I can leave my rear stock and then just upgrade later. If I go with the slotted and drilled rotors, I will need to do the rears at the same time as I will feel stupid having different rotors front and back.

I love the look of the slotted and drilled but don't they have problem's with the drilled cracking?

OK...now, here is what I am also trying to understand.

If I order this kit:

I do not need anything else, right? This is a direct upgrade correct?

Direct replacement. The pads are PBR pads and are quite good. If you wanted increased stopping power, I would switch to a set of Hawk HPS pads. That ferro-carbon compound rocks my socks.

If you go powerslot or prostop (dimpled) they reccomend going with Hawk pads because they bed better. Why this is, I dont know, but its what Power Performance Group says.

What I want is a set of the Cryo treated rotors...ooooo god would I love those.
