Pretty much nowhere. Ebay for the rotors and you probably have to pay retail for the goodridge (around 140-150). But you're brakes won't get any better with the lines the factory setup is as good as oem comes (ie non brembo 4+ piston). Brake fade and stopping distance will get a little better with the rotors if they're matched with good pads, but then again you can add brake cooling ducts for less than 30 bucks and forgo the drilled/slotted for regular rotors and they would "bite" and fight fade/temp just about the same if you don't use performance pads.

Oh and...opinion opinion opinion.

Is the said "cooling duct" a product you can buy? or stuff that you have to McGuyver in yourself with parts from home depot??

Thanks.

McGuyver with parts from other cars such as corvette c5-c6 or trailblazer ss or other cars. I'm using intake ducts from a porsche 944. Oh and vinyl defroster ducts.
