Thinking of upgrading to these for a bit more bite while braking, any one using these?
Brakes Has anyone upgraded their front 4 lug stock rotors and pads to these?

I have Power Stop Rotors and pads [without] drilling and slotting.
Remember: The rotors on these cars are kind of on the small side. The more rotor mass you can get, the better off you are when the brakes start to heat up.
The drilling and slotting are good for looks.
Mine are many years old but here is the current equivalent:

Not really an upgrade IMHO. Like Noobs said, the rotors on these cars are kinda on the small size for the weight/HP, so the last thing you want to be doing is reducing rotor mass.
If you like the looks of them, go for it.
If you want more bite, bleed your brakes well, and then research pad technology. The thing with brake pads is that it's very difficult to get a pad that does everything well. There will always be trade-offs with noise, dust, cold-grip, etc. The debate on the best brake pads can get as messy as the "what is the best oil" debates.

I have this kit from Maximum Motorsports and it works well for a stock upgrade. I also have Stoptech slotted rotors.
