Your stopping power will feel nearly as good as an upgraded set of brakes, if you don't drive your GS hard you don't need the upgraded big brakes unless you want them purely for cosmetics.
Thats a good Idea, You'll have $ left for sway bar,body kit, intake, the list goes on.

If you still decide you want the brake upgradehere is the Stoptech Template on the Stock GS 17" wheel.The only pic I dug up not very clear. You can see where the template just touches at the bottom portion.
