Thinking of pulling the trigger, thoughts?

Any particular brand of pads in mind? Would changing out the rotors to either slotted or cross drilled be worth it?

Not at all. For a street car, the cF of the tires is the main factor in stopping distances. R Compounds are going to the car in less distance then a M&S tire all other things being equal. Changing the pad/rotor for a single stop won't change this.

I have not driven non-sport brakes so I cannot comment on their feel. The OEM Nissan pads on the sport setup are very well matched IMHO. Brake grab is excellent without being too touchy.

For the street, the sport brakes are incredible. Upgrading the pads almost feels like too much, almost.

The stock tires make more road noise than Michelins, but this is not a quiet car like a Lexus regardless.
