What would you be willing to pay for a upgrade from the factory front calipers and rotors to a system with six piston calipers and two piece rotors 12.75 or 13.00 inches in diameter by 1.25 thick? Bolt-on and fits inside factory wheels.
Want your opinions and suggestions.

You must have some cash burning a big-ass hole in your pocket. Still haven't made up your mind, huh? Did you look at the Baer GT+ setup? Part #s (front)F3GF-10160-5JS, (rear)F7GF-13631-ECN, (optional X-drilled and zinc washed)0RT-12004-SDZ. Its just under $2000. I was thinking the same thing but decided on a rotor and pad upgrade. Our calipers are pretty good as they are.

I wish I had a lot of cash burning a hole in my pants. I really want to do a big brake upgrade but i want the best for the money. I do a lot of lapping days with the car and I am very hard on brakes. Just collecting info now before I write the check.

I do a lot of road courses also, and I simply went with the GMPP front rotors and DuraStops all the way around. Da bin bery gud 2 me.

I woudl love to have a Brembo setup but it just cost too much for what I do. I have cryongenically treated rotors and when I go to the track, I out on panther pads. This improves my braking dramatically from stock and no warped rotors. I try to get to road courses when I can. I use the stock pads when on the street.
