What sort of "better performance" are you looking for?

As Phil says, brakes pads are the best gain.

Re: Thanks, I will definitely look into those pads. I had also heard good things about the Pagid bla

i have stop techs on my car i think 312mm and they wont clear anything less then 17in rims the caliper hits the inside of the rim so keep that in mind

The Stoptechs are considerably larger than the stock calipers I would guess.

True, and I probably am going to end up with the stock 288mm discs.

I have thought that I'd like to do some track days and maybe get into auto-x sometime down the road, so it was more a preemptive "while I'm in there" kind of thought to just upgrade to the 312mm brake setup.
