Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior: Any experience?

Hello guys,

the next thing I would like to change about my Alero is the brake. The raybestos brakes that have been installed by the former owner are pretty bad. If you are breaking from about 90-100 mph, the brakes start to warp really really bad. In my opinion, the brakes are to small for such a big car. Even my Peugeot had bigger brakes on the rear axle than my Alero has at the front I think the warping is affected by overheating, right?

My idea was to install a Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior Set on front and back. The discs are slotted and drilled and should hold out much more heat, right?

Has anyone already had this Kit installed on his Alero? Are there any other discs and pads that could be recommended? I am not planning to do a brake upgrade, cause I want to keep the original 15" rims (at least until I bring myself to buy new rims ) at the moment.

Any advice would be great! This warping makes me nuts and a bad brake can be really dangerous when you are going 100mph and more on the Autobahn!
