Baer seems to be the best bang for the buck. Dont you have cobra brakes now? You may want to just upgrade the pad and go with a corssdrilled/slotted rotor and the same in the rear but utilize the factory rear calipers. That should be more than enough braking power.

Are you going to be street racing? If not 4 pistons are a waste unless you can get a killer deal.

If you are going to be road racing, I shy away from drilled disks. Slotted are ok, but drilled just provide a starting point for cracks unless you get some real high dollar units.
