Brake upgrade suggestion

i have an 04 coupe non brembo , i would like to upgrade to something with better stopping power and less brake dust....

what type of brake kit can i get other than bbk because they are too expensive for me at the moment, what are lesser and affordable options to give me what i need?

go to a junk yard, find a g/z with the brembos and rotors, take it all apart, pay, install.... (although i think you need a different bracket to mount the brembos... but don't quote me on that)

people tend to upgrade the lines when they switch out the kit, i think you need rotors, and obviously brembo pads....

Tried the junkyard in San Diego.
Barely any of the z/g there have brembos and the ones that did are already stripped haha.

Without going the Brembo route you could upgrade to DBA rotors and HAWK HPS pads for better stopping power and 90% less dust. You can find all this on our MARKETPLACE under vendor brakes for the best prices and immediate delivery....Gary
