- Intima SS or QFM HPX pads

- Painted brake calipers in whatever colour you prefer, with/without decal.
and obviously some new quality fluid.
This will give you a much better braking system without breaking the bank!
If you're wanting to replace them with something high performing and good looking, the brembos are the obvious option. There's also a bunch of other big brake kits, (kido and shockworks, some others I am forgetting). These are better for sure, but it's unlikely you'll need that much braking performance.
If you prioritise braking performance over looks, what Matt said ^^^
If you want both braking power and some nice bling behind wheels, and prepared to spend a few gs, then brembos. I went the fronts first (plenty of braking power), and then couldnt resist and had to get the rears done to balance it out
I got T3 4000 slotted rotors
Fronts: DBA4654-10S
Rears: DBA42656S-10 (you need to cut/remove the dust shield)
Note the 08+ brembos rear calipers are a straight bolt on, but were quite expensive at the time. I ended up getting pre-08 rears and adaptors from Mark (cruisn) to make them fit the MY10.
