If you're not intending to track the car, would the upgrade to the sport brakes be enough or should I still consider the brake cooling kit from Stillen?

I was considering buying their (Stillen) exhaust until I realized my exhaust money might be better off going towards brakes, hahahaha.

I'll say no you do not. I did it exclusively for the track.
