A question you need to ask is: How good were the stock pads? How long did they last and did they do what you asked them to do?
I replaced my brakes with Zimmerman's bought off ebay similar to Super Xray except mine are black. Rather than resurface the stock ones, I went new. I replaced the pads with OEM Porsche pads I bought off ebay. I got a deal on them. Finally I bought a set of SS brake lines to complete the rebuild. Took everything apart, cleaned, painted, rebuild and assembled. I new a new spring kit from Pelican to complete the assembly. Everything else look new and finished, I couldn't stand to put on the rusty spring kit.
My car stops as good as original. Now I have never raced this or had it on a track. If I was of that mind set, I would have investigated brake mods.
I have this philosophy that I live by. Any rebuild, repair, mod, etc, I consdier my time the most valuable. The last thing I want to do is to take something apart that I recently finished to replace an item that I went cheap on.
Ask yourself " what do I wamt out of my brakes?", the answer becomes clear.
Good luck
