Default Upgraded my rotors and replaced the front pads today

I found that with Superlift suspension lifts (older kits) have the option to keep stock rotors or upgrade to a 12 inch rotor, so I went ahead and upgraded! Along with all the other front end replacements I did, I upgraded to Centric 12" rotors and Centric Posi-quiet brake pads!

So how has the upgraded brakes affected the driving dynamics so far? Does it jive well with the Superlifts? I'm also thinking of upgrading the brakes and suspension as well in mine since the discs are worn down so much that they really have to replaced plus my suspension has become very jerky.

Everything is fine, very good stopping power and it affects nothing else
