Default Brakes Set up suggestions / opinions

my car just reached over 25k miles on stock brakes. i would like to upgrade. i was looking into set ups and here's one that i really liked. its basically the stoptech stage 2 but w/o the slotted or drilled rotors and just the regular blank ones.

Stoptech blank front rotors(pair)....................$100.00
Stoptech blank rear rotors (pair)....................$ 65.00
Axxis Deluxe Plus Front Brake Pads............ $ 40.00
Axxis Deluxe Plus Rear Brake Pads............. $ 36.00
Dezod Motorsports Stainless Steel
Braided Brake Line kit.....................................$110.00
Three bottles of Motul
RBF600 brake fluid...........................................$15.00 each

so in total is about $400. plus shipping. i will be installing everything myself.
what do you guys think? any recomendations?

Sounds like a hell of a deal. I can package something together for you if you want all of it from us!

I personally would to get some Disc Brakes Australia rotors. Seems like it's the best you can do without going to a full BBK.

I used some personally on another car I own, and was not that impressed. Too much hype. Product did not wear well at all.
