If aren't tracking the car, there is no need for another brake kit over OEM. Just get some decent brake pads.

Ive seen some people do ridiculous things like swap porsche boxter brakes on their rx8s even though its their daily driver . I mean just because theyre the same weight doesnt mean that you need those breaks on ur rx.

From what I understand, the only reason for a BBK is to avoid overheating the brakes. Which is only a problem on the track for these cars, much less of a problem in winter! An noted above, stock size rotors (no holes) and some good street pads. (EBC, Hawk, Porterfield all have good offerings among others.)
