Pro Charger or Brembo Brake kit????

so i have been debating on my next mod to do to the car. after putting these wheels on the car, i think i need to do a brake upgrade(at least up front). i was thinking the Brembo 6 piston upgrade up front with larger rotors all the way around. of course having the calipers match the stock rears in color.
Or, a Pro Charger supercharger. it will give me about 550hp to thew wheels with a good tune and the mods i already have done to the car.
So help me out here. do i go for stopping power and a better look with the brake upgrade. or do i go for the power and throw the superfharger on?

Oooof...tough one. I would need to see a better shot of the wheels and the rotor to rim gap to decide.

I don't think .6 - 1 " increase in rotor size will fill those wheels up. I vote for procharger.

I said brakes just because you'll need them when you really need them.
