I agree with the pads/rotors/lines upgrades. The brakes we have is similar to an isuzu SUV (rodeo was it?). doug (wazawat) suggest a rebuild is good for autocrossing with the aforementioned upgrade. I tried just changing the fluid and already the difference is remarkable.

Brakes will stop you fast enough if you stomp on them on time. The more pistons (well beyond 2) is actually designed for precision braking than stopping power. Bite is surface area of the rotor and pad resistance.

EBC green or red pads are excellent too.

But... Nothing beats looking good.

Cheers
