I have done nothing with my brakes, and my car is a '97 w/ 63,000 miles.

I know that it will need work soon. Any brake upgrade recommendations? Any
idea what I'm in for? New rotors? Turned rotors?

Thanks.

stock , brembo or some powerslot kind of rotors, ebc greenstuff brake pads,
speed bleeders and a set of braided stainless brake hoses.
that's what i know to work very well on the street.

the bleeders make it easy to bleed the brakes by yourself. it doesn't matter
how good your stuff is if you have air in the system.
stay away from drilled rotors but the ones that are slotted or plain will be
fine. all drilled rotors will crack at sometime
ebc greenstuff are street pads that work great even when cold. they have a
very high coefficient of friction but don't eat rotors.
the stainless flex lines, elimintate a lot of pedal travel and make the
brakes very firm (very noticeable)
