What type of brakes are best. cross drilled, grooved, vented so many makes and types, it's hard to choose.
Also whats the diff between 4 po and 6 pot.
Is it the pistons that ram the pad against the disk??

If you feel you need new brakes, in my opinion there is only one solution; that is:
Bigger disc and more pots. Slotted AP Racing discs seems to have the lowest warp- and crack factor, AP four-pot calipers should be enough for anythink but real racing. Buy the biggest discs you can afford (and fit under your wheels). If they don't fit: bigger wheels too.

Lee, I would got the the AP calipers using grooved discs. This was fine for me last year. I did 4 track days on them, and I am pretty hard on the brakes normally too.
Pads for road use, I would got for something like DS2000 or Z rated from carbon metallic.
