I know the folks at StopTech... they have a awesome product and the customer support is second to none. I haven't put them on myself although I do plan on doing it.

The cost is around 3k or less just depending on options.

They will and do fade bad. Big improvements to the stock system: New fluid (I like ATE Super-Blue), braided lines, slotted/dimpled rotors (not drilled), and pads. Those changes will help a bunch.

 

And their Web site is also second to none. Should be required reading for those contemplating brake upgrades.

 

I'll give that brake fluid a try, what's it a DOT 5 or something? I thought the next step up would be something similiar to the silicone fluid. I do have ceramic pads on the front (haven't noticed any warpage yet). I don't think I really need the braided lines and slotted rotors considering my type of driving.

 

Braided lines will improve your pedal feel big time. It will give you a rock solid pedal without any pumps. Very inexpensive and worth while mod. Also changing your fluid on a regular basis will help. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. Over time this will lower the boiling point of the fluid and affect your braking.
