Things to look into with the kits. Are you tied to their products now or will factory parts interchange? Replacement part prices and what ifs, like they go out of business or discontinue that item.

I went with the sock spindles so factory parts fit. Slotted rotors and metallic pads and you have more stopping power than you'll ever need unless you plan to run Nascar or road race all day.

Stock parts are actually fine unless your doing 3-4 200 MPH panic stops in a row. That would warp a rotor.

Vaccuum assisted hard brake pedal is associated with a huge cam. Even a medium sized cam they work fine. 234 244 @ 50 is about the limit. They work normally. Vacuum booster stores enough to work 3X well. So with a auto and sitting in traffic it may get hard. Just blip the throttle in neutral and they back. With a stick problem is pretty well solved.

Only aftermarket I had any experience with is Baer brakes. So I can't comment on the companies mentioned.

Just things to consider deciding.
