not much more than stock at all. Slotted rotors wear pad more than
crossdrilled.

WAY better. specially if you have aftermarket pads.

The stock brakes can really stop you in a jiffy if you wanted them to. I
have zimmermans up front /SS lines/ATE TYP 200 fluid/ferodo ds2000 and
the car stops on a dime. track or street.

I have the Zimmerman's, and I can't say I reccomend them.  Braking on
the street seems less effective now.  They look pretty cool though.

I had the Zimmermans as well. I had some minor warpage pretty early
on. I thought the braking had some good initial bite but seemed about
like stock the rest of the time.
I now have Slotted rotors from Velocity and they seem very nice and
arent quite chewing thru pads at the same rate (Sorry I cant draw any
direct comparisons since the slotted rotors are 12.3" with Boxster
4 pots :)

Like a large number of people of the list, I like the H&R coilovers. I
need the height adjustability for the winter but if they plowed my
road I would have probably just stuck with Bilstein/Sport springs
and foregone the height adjustability to save some cash
