Default upgraded brake parts worth it?

i plan to replace all my rotors and brake parts with new.
do you really notice a difference if you use upgraded rotors or pads?

or should i just use oem replacements.

thanks for the opinions

On an XJ the only real difference is what's left over in your wallet. It's like putting slotted rotors and ceramic pads on a John Deere. Sure you can, but why? Avoid the real cheapie stuff and get the standard (OEM) grade and you'll be fine.

Do the standard stuff unless you want to upgrade to WJ brakes.
