I know it really shouldn't make much difference with stock caliper but it does seem to have helped quite a bit. Could just be a leverage increase? not sure

Next step if I continue will be a 4 pot caliper. But to tell you the truth I am quite happy with them as is. Of course visually the 2 pot looks tiny on that platter of a front rotor now
I've heard that brand mentioned before... I'll look into them.

BTW, i like the graphics on your bike!

@dfox, thanks for that info. I never realy thought the stock brakes are necessarily bad. Its all i've known anyway.
I was more curious what everyone else though after what my boyfriend said.
New tires are another story. I want to get some better ones but just can't justify replacing tires with a lot of life left.
