'06 and '07 stock rotor upgrade to drilled worth it?

The brakes on the '06 and '07 are rather large. I was wondering if replacing the stock rotors with drilled and or slotted ones with Hawk pads and SS-lines would actually make for a much upgraded setup.

Normally a big brake kit is the norm but with the stock rotors being so large, makes me wonder if you can get mostly there just going to a drilled rotor with better pads.

Rotors

Drilled rotors do tend to crack, slotted ones, while probably not necessary (except for bling) are probably OK. I might try the Hawk Ceramic HP street pads when I have to change them. SS lines will make the brakes feel more solid, less mushy. I put them on a 2000 GT 'vert with good results.
