I'd fit better pads first. You can get a really good result from just decent pads. No wank factor, but it does the job for a street car

Ive always preffered a car that stops and drives properly over one with heaps of grunt and not much else, you can always add horsepower later, even the naturally aspirated 3L can make good power with a few well thought out tweeks. Even with Slotted rotors, VS HSV pads (well worth the massive price) and rear discs ive found myself running out of brakes too often.
