Personally I'd avoid drilled discs.

You might want to consider giving them a refurbish with new seals and boots ian also supplies pistons or just the seals, i never bothered with pistons but the seal kit and a good clean will make them like new and is not difficult to diy,and you could slap a couple of coats of paint on them and hey presto new calipers, you'll not to have to mess with them again for a good while

I fitted those Godspeed kevlar pads along with grooved discs to my car and it was worse than the standard set up. I found the whole set up would just overheat and fade really quickly compared with standard, despite not driving any faster.

Even worse, when the brakes got hot (road use, so not going like a lunatic), the discs would warp and cause vibration... something which I never experienced with the original standard set up.

I must have had some duff grooved discs as when I changed back to standard discs and pads the problem went away..... and I could still stop in the same distance.

The kevlar pads are, in my experience, a downgrade, not an upgrade over the standard pads.
