front brake upgrades?

k, after i pull the engine i want to upgrade my brakes.

what all would i want to upgrade it with?

i was thinking new rotors, calipers, pads, new brake lines, possibly new master cylinder and brake booster if i need them.


what brand should i get for them all?

i have regular 1" rotors now. would it really help a lot to get 1.25" rotors and have to upgrade my spindles too?

Go here and check this out. Praise Dyno Brakes This will give you a lot of good info if you just plan to upgrade the stock brakes.

If you want to go with bigger brakes, which I highly recommend, then check out Stainless Steel Brakes...
