Upgrading Brake System
I am trying to find out where I can get good pricing on new rotors and a good set of disc front and rear. I don't have the money to go with a Big Brake system. I am looking for something to give me a little more stopping power but, also looks good. Would prefer to have drilled and slotted also looking for pads.

Drilled and slotted on the rotors you mean i hope. Raceconcepts.net has a group on EMC rotors cross drilled and dimpled, or just cross drilled, or just dimpled, or just slotted, and so on for $135 shipped for the fronts. I got them and they're not bad. I got the cross drilled and dimpled and they disappate heat well. Also I have the Porterfield R4S for pads...those are significantly pricey but stop VERY well with VERY little brake dust.

stick w/ blanks, cheaper, practical, and your $$ is better spent on brake pads, SS brake lines, larger calipers, larger rotors, etc than drilled or slotted rotors.
axxis ultimates i hear are very good all around.
"looks good" almost always ends up compromising performance.

You can try ebay or http://groupbuycenter.com for Brembo brake disc blanks. There is also a groupbuy on that site for the SS brake lines @ around 120 for a set. Rotors should be around 40 for the blanks, and pads range pretty much.
