Default BF XR8 ute brake upgrade

Hey mate,
I am up for new pads and rotors soon for my BF xr8 ute, so was considering upgrading while I had the chance. What would you recommend as an upgrade for it considering it gets used daily, with approx 35k per year?
Thanks for your help
Cheers
Paul

Paul do you mean upgrading to 4 or 6 piston calipers or slotted rotors and better pads thanks mate?

Thanks mate, I have the standard gear on my ute at the moment, and to be honest I hadnt even thought about the calipers!! Is it worth upgrading the calipers as well as the rotors and pads, or would the rotor and pad upgrade be substantial enough?

If the std brakes are adequate i would just go slotted rotors and premium pads and a really good set will start from about $1000 all round and we can go cheaper if needed. I can confirm once we establish product also what rear brakes they have fitted.

Sweet mate, the standard brakes have been pretty good actually so the slotted rotors and pads would prob be the best way to go I think. I have the BF XR8 ute manual mate, but Im not sure what the exact specs for the brakes are. It is basically my daily driver, with the occasional spirited drive, but my daily trip involves some pretty windy, twisty fun roads so am happy to get a pretty decent set up. Thanks again for your help mate.
