They stop the car a lot faster but I got the Zeal Endless pads with them. If I remember correctly I think Snook (Tim) said they stop faster just by them self.

They stop the car faster ??? maybe some do, but mostly it's about the cooling to the rotors so they won't warp

I got the silver. They stay cooler and that keeps the pads cool. If they get too hot then you get brake fade. The rotors enhance braking ability. They are I think 10-15lb lighter. Dont quote me on that.

I hope you mean 10-15lbs lighter for the complete set of front and rear...

An easy way to improve braking performance would be to use a better pad and switch to a better brake fluid, like ATE Super Blue (if it's compatable). Braided steel brake lines too.

Just changing the rotors for drilled ones would do little. I would recommend slotted over drilled, as drilled rotors may crack under exteme (track) condidtions.

There is no reason at all for any brake fluid other than what comes in the car. Unless you are going to be running on a track where your brake fluid temps are going to get way out of hand the fluid already in there is more than fine. Save your money.
