Screw stickers. Paint your brake calipers red with high heat paint and your brakes will perform a lot better and you'll net about a 50 WHP gain Remember to use HIGH HEAT paint or else you may LOSE both power and braking performance! Brembo stickers also add another 2WHP but I haven't been able to justify the cost of buying them... maybe some day when I have money to burn.
