What are some folks feelings on piecing together a brake 'kit'?

For instance, Tirerack has some nice rotors (Baer) for a pretty good price, I guess.

If I were to get these, what are the pros & cons of upgrading the calipers? Is it even necessary?

Pat, a two piece rotor design offers better heat dissipation and performance. You would also want a aluminum 4 piston caliber for better heat dissipation, SS lines to get rid of line flex at higher temp and brake pads that designed to operate at a higher temp, ie. a Street performance pad.

Don't forget we talked about this in this thread
