Very sorry to say this but the StopTech kits like what Nathan Merino has on his project car is the proper brake upgrade. I realize that larger rotors carry more weight in front than what I desire. DBA 5000 current updated rotors at 21 lbs each similar weight to the StopTech rotors. I noticed that with lighter front rotors the front end turns in better and easier at speeds, the car becomes more neutral with less rotational mass in front. I would try Brembo 6 pot calipers and DBA 5000 front rotors but those calipers are twice as expensive at $2000 calipers alone. I still believe in the more rotor material more room for heat in which larger diameter rotors win but on tracks where we won't see higher speeds the 14" rotors should still work.
