You can easily get away with running a stop tech rotor upgrade, better pads and brake lines....and better fluids. But you'll need cooling ducts.

Mono piston calipers however are more susceptible to pad knock back and subsequent rotor warping and uneven pad wear. Your main priority however is Temps. And contrary to belief, a mono piston caliper actually handles heat better than the sport calipers and will cause less fluid boiling.

I personally would just get a stop tech 4 piston front kit and call it a day. Stop tech may be able to get you a str-40 caliper kit for a good price if you call them directly.


Cooling Duct should come before switching to different calipers and rotor size. Without better cooling, you will cook whatever hardware upgrade you put in as you push harder and harder.
