Default SC400 Brake Upgrade... Need Suggestion

OK after doing some serious research for the pass two days, I have came down to two options
1.) LS400 Front Brake Upgrade
Will cost about 400 parts, used calipers new disc and pads
2.) Rotora Front Brake Upgrade
4 Piston Red Calipers
Ceramic Brake Pads
355x 32 crossdrilled/slotted rotors
Front SS Lines
$950 parts

So I just want some suggestions, I'm looking for good stopping power but I dont go to track or anything
Is the rotora brake kit worth the money?

Any comment? Greatly appreciate any help!!

Thanks!!!

you seem to at least know the options so not much I can tell you...except the prices are all wrong...for 1600 I can get myself 4 sets of front TT calipers. The TT will be less of a hassle to install but they do look butt ugly.

just search around, there has been 89758934 threads on this subject already. Either way, both brakes are really good value

when buying wheels make sure they are the high disk fitment so you can safely put the calipers inside...no need to to 18, 17s will be fine for TTs and LS. All you need for both is only calipers, pads and rotors...brake lines you can use your existing ones.
