Upgrade brakes

[jglovier]

More HP and faster driving means need for better brakes. Lots of options, and lots of pricepoints discovered after some initial research. Looks like the higher end stuff (StopTech, Wilwood, Brembo, etc) is forged (lighter and stronger), and also tends to be for larger rotors (big brake kits), as well as calipers with 4 or even 6 pin systems. The lower end stuff (like Power Stop) appears to mostly just be cast rotos and remanufactured calipers with powder coating, etc.
