Correct me if I'm wrong, but this big brake kit doesn't fit with the OEM 18'' wheels, does it?

The 14" rotors will work with the factory 18's. I had them on my truck before getting my American Racing Mojave's. The brakes are definitely worth the investment and make a huge improvement.
I think there was a magazine article where installing the kit reduced the 60-0 mph braking distance on a 4X4 CC from 132 feet to 113. That's a pretty good improvement and would be the difference between a totally smashed car and a close call.

The cross-drilled rotors and performance pads will definitely help out when it comes to longevity and slight performance gains. However if your looking for something that will give you a more solid pedal feel, much shorter stopping distance, even greater lifespan and overall a more confident feeling in your braking system then the monster brake kit is the way to go. I have it on my truck and I actually wore out my rear pads before having to replace the fronts. First off what size wheels do you have? Second, what do you use your vehicle for? (daily commuting/nothing too harsh, towing a trailer, heavy loads in bed.) Once you determine your needs, then we can help you work out what's best for you.
For some people I only recommend cross-drilled and slotted rotors, but for most I recommend the monster brake kit. The feeling you get when you press on your brakes and actually have a repsonsive braking system is well worth the extra money is most of my customers eyes.
Hey can you quote me on 07 Titan stock wheels. want to upgrade my brakes. towing bass boat is really only thing i do with it as of right now and little off road joy riding.
thanks
