non brembo brake upgrade help

alright I am a complete newb when it comes to these cars so please bare with me, I currently own an 03 coupe non brembo package, was recently told that my rear brakes are getting low. Instead of just changing out the pads for oem ones I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade the brakes without going big brake kit, I am looking for something cost effective that will provide better braking, suggestions and feedback are greatly appreciated thanks

If you're looking for a simple upgrade, I'd get aftermarket pads with SS lines and new brake fluid. Shouldn't be more than $200.

^the rotors are the bulk of the cost there. No need the change the rotors if they are still within safe thickness.

I was unaware of that, i thought you had to change rotors the same time you changed pads

Its not necessary if they are thick enough. If they're warped, you can get them machined flat and they'll be just as good.

Hit up Marinelli Motorsports. Galliano has great prices.

For pads, I personally used Hawk and Akebono. Akebono pads were way better for street driving. Quiet and low dust. A nice upgrade over oems.

As far as SS lines go, Technafit, Fluid Transfer Products, Stoptech, they all do the same thing. Pick one that goes with your budget.

You can also get the same kit without the rotors.
