Yes, upgraded to Brembo 6-piston front & 4-piston rear calipers with 2-piece slotted rotors.

I bought them used off a Porsche so the ROI (priced paid) for me works out to be a huge positive.

I felt the stock brakes are reaching their limits trying to slow the car down from "Mexico" highway speeds. These get me down to 80mph from xxx mph without building excessive heat and potentially wrapping those Zimmerman OEM rotors.

Maintenance wise, I run Hawk 5.0 street pads which are only ~$400 and about $100 less than OEM ... BUT replacement friction rings go for at least $500 or more, per rotor, and also depends on if you went with brembo (and whether they're drilled, slotted, zinc-plated, etc) or Stoptech aerorotors (alternative brembo friction replacement ring program)

Sorry for the rant ... hope that helps. In summary, if it doesn't break the bank, I would do it. Also looks better underneath the wheels too 😎
