Ok, here's the problem: I know I'm probably going to need brakes soon. Can anyone recommend a good upgrade that will fit behind the stock 205 60 15 wheel that will offer better fade resistance, less warpage and less squealing than the oem brakes? I don't autocrossing or anything but I do drive aggressively when i can. Any ideas??

I have the same wheel set up as you. I went with the KVR/"Brembo" cross-drilled front rotors. That will definately reduce fade under hard braking. As far as warpage I'm not sure as i've only had the rotors on for a few months. To take care of that squeaking all you have to do is bust the metal clips off of the sides of the brake pads when you're puttting the new rotors on. HTH

Thanks.....by the way, how are the cross drilled rotors doin? I've heard mixed reviews about them.It's not the front discs that squeak on my car but th rear drums. It drives me crazy....any ideas? Any recommendations on pads for the fronts??
