I think that brakes have long been an overlooked mod...I will be the first to admit that when I ordered my rotors it was because they looked cool...but since I have installed them the fantasic braking power of this car has saved my skin on more than one occasion...I am still sometimes amazed at how hard I can jam on the brakes and the anti-lock system never engages...it just hauls down like you threw an anchor out the window. When I do my struts/springs I will be adding the SSBs to my ride as well.

Agreed with the brakes being overlooked. Stock/oem setup is really not enough for a 3500lb+ car. The simple/cheap upgrading to drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads made a nice difference.
Of course what would really help is larger brakes.
Unfortunately 1.5 years later, the rotors are taking a beating from the pads. Definetly not as good as it was. Oh well.
