Porterfield Brakes

Im thinking about upgrading my brakes. I like the Porterfields. Does anyone have any suggestions about any other after market brakes. Also, should I upgrade the rotors also, and are braided lines better than the rubber ones or are they just cosmetic??? Please, any info, would greatly appreciated. The two most important things on your car. TIRES ___ BRAKES

i wanted less brake dust so i went with metal masters. i also add the ss braid lines and it did make the brake pedal some what harder.

i have cross drilled & slotted rotors on the front and only cross drilled on the rear.
