I understand that I am not going to get/gain a significant amount of braking with any minor brake upgrade (pads & rotors), but anything I get will be an improvement over the AutoZone crap I have now.

Did you hurt yourself from concentrating so hard to sound smart?

HPS pads will make a big difference over OEM pads. Put OEMs in the rear and HPS in the front. Brembo blanks all around.

Rotors won't help with brake grab, but harsher pads will.
