I would upgrade my brakes. I had my rotors turned 3x before i caved and purchased the stillen sport rotors then eventually the big brake kit. My only complaint is that i have spilled many cups of water while stopping do to idiots cutting me off while on the phone.

I think bigger brakes are a good investment now that you have mondo tires and wheels. They need bigger brakes to overcome the added momentum, weight and leverage of the bigger wheels and tires.

Safety would be improved for the little guy too.

Amen! The stock brakes were only adequate and believe me when you upgrade the pads and rotors you'll be very happy.
