All this rotor-talk is complete rubbish. I've got OEM blanks, carbotech AX6, SS Lines, and ATE Blue. The combination is actually too powerful for the factory tires. As soon as I get some heat into those pads and I do a slightly harder than medium stop, the ABS goes insane. The braking force actually overwhelms the grip of the tires. Next time around, I'm stepping back down to carbotech 1521 and better tires.

The only way to genuinely get better braking performance is to get better tires and better pads. If you want even more braking power, you have no choice but to get a big brake kit as the big brake is about the only thing that will actually help your ABS kick in much later and work better when it does, in fact, kick in. Rotors ain't gunna do anything (unless they're some cheaply made $15 rotors; in which case they'll be worse).
