what exactly do you want to change with your brakes?? Typically, the whole, 6 piston caliper, with ceramic pads, and drilled and slotted rotors, will not only cost a F ton, but it really isnt worth the money. You will stop slightly better, and I do mean slightly, but not in comparison to the dough that you would shell out to achieve it. Just my $.02

I'm liking the SSBC brakes that i can get through a friend for $500, but i want some good breaks i would even be fine with really good pads and a caliper paint kit and some slotted rotors

You can use any engine high temp paint. Ceramic pads are a must IMO. The only hoods I like are the SRT hood, the high rise SRT and the Venom hood. Grills have be found lots of places.

What preformance mods have you considered?
