I changed to slotted/drilled rotors, stainless front lines, higher boiling point fluid and left it at that even though that is mostly feel good stuff. I'm not going to bigger tires (staggered 87s) and already have sticky tires. Needs to pass the value equation of cost verses benefit, doesn't in my circumstances.

Likewise, I did the same mods (DOT 5.1 synthetic) on my 4.4 with stock sized rubber. The brake fluid flush and stainless lines at all four positions did give me a firmer pedal feel and improved braking response for the pedal pressure applied.
