Default Cheapest Upgrade for an EL?

Whats the cheapest way to upgrade EL brakes? I dont wanna spendmore than 5-600 if i can. Am i better off with some decent rotors and some decent pads and not bothering with new calipers etc?

Cheers
Ben

Yes slotted rotors and decent pads will help as there isn't really anything else you can do apart from our big twin piston 330mm front kit for $2200.00
Slotted rotors and pads will cost you between $600 and $650 for better street performance .

I was wondering if I could get a quote for some slotted rotors + pads for my EL?
Front only, non-ABS.
How much is postage to 5352? Would it be cheaper to post to my work in Adelaide (5000)?

Also, this is the first time I'm going to attempt the rotor replacement myself. The Haynes manual mentions about having the bearing races pressed in. Just wondering if the rotors supplied have this done already? Also, could I get some bearings through you guys as well?
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Sam. (aka sgt_doofey)
