Brake upgrade
Looking for drilled and slotted rotors and carbon ceramic pads, has anyone upgraded like this.

nope, never been done before. What a great idea!

Try the search button

I'd just do new pads... rotors won't change much.

Noticed a lot of heat and the lovely snell burnt pads. I know my fluid is done and needs to be changed. I am looking for fade free braking. Any help and ideas are appreciated.

Cross-drilled rotors won't do anything other than lighten your wallet on a regular basis.

Put good pads on and flush your brake fluid using a DOT4 or DOT5.1 (NOT DOT5!) fluid and you'll be fine.
