What is your requirement for the Big brake update. What will you do with your 260HP. I recommend better tires before upgrading your brakes. This will make a huge difference. More then upgrading brakes. If you track then I say go for it. But if you stay on the street there is absolutly no need. You are better of with new good quality rotor, not slotted nor drilled. They reduce braking surface on smaller disc. Get a balanced compound pad, too aggressive and it will chew your rotors.
Remember big brakes = big wheels which equal added unsprung weight which screws with you suspension.
But light wheels and a great tire is what make your car stop. Not brakes (i'm not saying to take your brakes off ;) )
If you race then go for it, but make sure you do your homework. The SVT brakes are a good start find a wrecked SVT (easier said then done) and salvage parts from it. That way its a true bolt on.
You will need the front knuckles of the SVT or need to get yours machined, can be pricey.
Todd at TCEperformance makes a good kit for front.
But for the couple 1000$ it will cost you you are better of putting that money somewhere else.
Cheers
