Default Best brake kit?

Looking to buy brakes for my 09 fx4. Ive heard that oem brakes are prone to rotors warping and a lot of brake dust. Was wanting to upgrade. Any suggestions?

I went to the local parts store and got the rotors and pads that came with a lifetime warranty. Paid $250. And yes, that's lifetime warranty on the rotors.

Wouldn't say they are the best, but I won't have to pay for them from here on out sooo...

Yup. Rear as well. Of course, Ill be purchasing the rear kit as well. It will be a while before I install them. I will definitely post pics when I do.
You have to have 20" wheels for these kits to work according to the Wilwood Rep I talked to. 18" wheels may be ok. Have to check the clearance first.

Man that's a lot,but looks serious though. I wonder how much there is in weight difference ? But sounds like you're going 20" also. The first time you use the new setup,you might put a nose print on the inside of the windshield
