Please excuse my lack of knowledge here, but I have a question in relation to brakes...
I have a 98 Firebird Formula and I'm researching into improvements I can make to the brakes.
I can see that there are plenty of third party disc brake rotors on the market, even here in Australia... and they are pretty cheap.
But what I don't know is :
1. Will the dimpled/slotted rotors give me better braking?
2. I've seen some RDA/EBC brakes for sale at a good price:

3. do they work with stock pads?
4. Will they chew up brake pads quicker than normal rotors?
5. Is there much point in just doing front, or should both front and back be done?
6. If these are a good replacement solution, how much work is involved in replacement?
Note: this car is not for racing or track, just looking for more confidence in the brakes.
