Agreed

Also consider braided steel lines and if you are getting hot, the Stillen brake ducts really help.

I ran hawk plus and slotted only Z1,rotors at the track quite a bit and love the combo. It's squeaky and dusty around town though. The rotors are noticeably lighter and feel great on OEM calipers with street pads
