Just after some advice on upgrading brakes on a VT commodore.
I've already gone down the upgrade path once with it, with Bendix Advance pads and RDA slotted rotors which did produce a decent result... But my list of upgrades involves engine upgrades etc for 'more power!' [insert Tim the Toolman grunting].
So with this in mind I'd like to tackle the brakes first, and am wondering if there's any easyish and cheapish upgrade kits for front and rear disks and calipers.
I know I could go the Monaro route with the rear disks and calipers for vented rear disks, but would like something a little more substantial.
Thanks muchly for reading my rant.

For anyone interested, I have actually managed to find a kit, pretty muchto the specs I was after.
See here:

The flashy colour isn't what I was after, and doens't bother me much what they look like to be honest because I was just wanting the car to remain as a sleeper anyway.
Anyway the kit contains bigger slotted rotors, venter rear rotors, new calipers, better hoses for all 4 wheels and doens't, by the seems of it, require any changes to be made to booster or master cylinder.
Dunno how much it is but I'm hoping not a lot, will post when I find out.
EDIT: the kit requires 17" wheels or bigger, and retails for $2900... Anything know of something cheaper? :P
