My brakes are ready to be replaced and I'm trying to figure out what the best way to go is. I think the current rotors and pads are the original ones (85k miles) and the front rotors are warped. I'd like to keep the total price under $500. I'm pretty easy on my Sportwagen, don't drive it fast or brake hard, but I'd like to replace the current brakes with something that feels like it has a bit more "bite", if that makes sense. I don't need anything for performance, but the brake pedal right now feels a bit mushy and I'd like to change that. Right now I'm looking at the PowerStop Z23 Evolution Geomet Coated Kit along with replacing the brake lines with ECS Tuning's stainless steel ones, or just getting the PowerStop Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit (drilled and slotted) and keeping the stock brake lines. The drilled and slotted kit is a bit more and would eliminate the brake line upgrade from my budget. I'm also open to any other suggestions, and I'd definitely be happy to spend less that what I have budgeted so I can save up for some upgrades to the shifter
