Real Talk about Base Brakes

Brake cooling is your number one priority. Second is rotor material and pad material. The sport calipers and rotors aren't worth a damn if you don't route better cooling ducts.

Brake cooling is your number one priority. Second is rotor material and pad material. The sport calipers and rotors aren't worth a damn if you don't route better cooling ducts.

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.
