Brake System?

I am looking to upgrade my brake system on my 2003 WRX and want to find out what everyone thinks about some of the parts I am looking at. Here is a list of parts I am looking at.

- StopTech steel braided brake lines
- Carbotech Bobcat brake pads Front and Rear
- Carbotech Rotors Front
- Rear brake rotor 11.3" upgrade kit with Carbotech Rotors (this is a little different kit then what I have seen most places sale, because this kit come with Carbotech Slotted Rotors instead of the OEM rotors) Here is the link for this kit. http://home.att.net/~teaguesauto/brakeswr.htm

I would have looked at the StopTech rotors but the rear brake upgrade came with the Carbotech rotors so I figured if I got that kit I would keep the same brand rotors in the front. I have never ordered from (boxer4racing.com) and I don't know how good they are if you know anything about them please let me know and if you have any suggestions about the parts I have listed please let me know what works better. Thanks.

I've got the Stoptech Stage 2 Kit that includes, SS Lines, Slotted Rotors (Front and Rear), Axxis Pads (F&R) and MOTUL600 Fluid. It works great for the power mods I have so far. The question that begs to be asked though, how much power are you trying to halt?

I am wanting to get up to 350hp. I am not sure if I have to go to a Big Brake kit to stop that much power or is the set up above sufficient.

I was also looking at the STi Version V and VI 4-pot Brake Caliper Kit with Carbotech pads and rotors in front and the H-6 Rear brake rotor 11.3" upgrade kit with Carbotech pads and rotors in rear and stainless steel brake lines. Do you think that would be a good set up?
