And if that turns out to be not enough, take a good look at Stoptech. They make awesome brake kits and are more affordable than Brembo.
Yeah that's more rational....maybe we're just crappy mechanics, but there is an annoying sound when two of my friend's s2s with pads brake. Sounds like crap. I think Project U pads.

Well they could just be squeaky pads. Not all performance pads are noisy.

What do you drive?

I know my garbage brakes fade bad after two stops from 70. Bad MC or something.

cha' with everything everyone else said, only point of big brake kits is to have more surface area for better cooling and less concentrated areas of heat, not to reduce 60-0 ftages.

Best way to reduce those is with high grip tires, good bleeding, new fluid, new rotors (general maintenance kinda stuff.)

Well they will sometimes, as many cars can't push the tires braking ability 100% at highway speeds or higher, I know I can't get mine to lock until like 25 mph, but mine suck. h:
