Thanks for all of that. It turns out I will need another $1000 in parts so I'm starting to think it isn't worth the cost. Also after watching some of the videos, I don't think I could even get into...

Ebc has some. That's what I was planning to get, just wasn't sure it really makes a difference. I was more concerned about the weight of the rotors more than braking performance. After some reading...

Why are you assuming I don't drive my car hard occasionally? I didn't feel it necessary to explain everything I've done to the car in terms of straight line performance.

Just looking to make the ultimate commuter/grocery getter without breaking the bank. Most upgrades won't make any difference for that. There aren't even any tracks where I live.

I can tell the difference between when I have a spare tire in the car and when I don't so I'm pretty sure I will be able to tell the difference if the rotors are 30lb lighter from using a material...

It's a bigger deal for performance to reduce the weight of moving parts though.

I'm getting a little pulsating and juddering with high speed stops so I think that means I need new rotors. Just wanted to get some opinions on good ones. I'm using ebc blue pads. They stop well but...

I was hoping for something that costs less than the car... What are the lightest rotors for the base trim brakes? Or what are the best street performance pads and rotors for them anyway.

Really just want some improvement in stopping ability and smoothness on the interstate. Daily driver but I drive fast sometimes.
