I also looked into the Wilwood big brake kit but wasn't sure of its compatibility with ABS. I looked into the Stoptech big brake kit but didn't want to spend that much. I thought the Powerslot or Stoptech slotted rotors with upgraded pads and stainless lines would make the most sense. I went with the Stoptech slotted rotors in front and rear with Hawk HPS pads in front and Stoptech stainless lines in front (no stainless lines are available yet but I understand Goodridge is working on a set for the rear). I get a little brake dust with the Hawk HPS pads but instead of being dusted evenly on the rim it dusts in segments related to the spacing of the slots on the rotors. It kind of flings the dust onto the rim. Not real heavy but still builds up. The Stoptech upgrade has a firmer brake pedal feel but I haven't really driven aggressively enough to have more information. I was a little disappointed to still have oxidation on the rotors after washing the car but I understand even the coated rotors such as Powerslots have the same problem because eventually the coating wears off.
