Here is my set up on my G5 GT. BDI Drilled and Slotted rotors, EBC Red Stuff pads and Ceramic painted calipers. I also have Blue Sleaved Stainless Steel brake lines to install but did not have all of them at the time due to production differences.

max your car isnt fast enough for big brakes...lol j/k. but seriously all you would need is some slotted rotors, a good street/track pad like hawk hp+ or ebc green stuff, stainless steel brake lines, and an upgraded fluid like ate super blue. and your car would stop on a dime and it would have a great pedal feel

My road racing setup:

-stainless lines
-OEM rotors
-Hawk HPS pads
-high-temp DOT 4 fluid (if you go with ss lines you can do synthetic, but if you stay stock you need to stay with organic fluid) - stay away from super blue. Go with Motul or something along those lines.

Looks great, I like how part of the caliper is silver not all red.
I have powerslot rotors with hawk hps pads got them from modern performance and PFYC good improvement and haven't warped yet.

StopTech slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads! Big brake kit = waste of money unless you're doing it for show. The stock brakes are powerful enough and the Hawk pads will give you a little extra bite.
