Are there any upgrades to the disc brakes like larger calipers or bigger rotors?I have seen the drilled and slotted rotors and some of the different pads offered but havent seen anything mentioned about caliper upgrades,also haven't seen stainless steel lines when I Google it

I believe the general consensus from the old forum was the factory calipers and basic blank rotors with a good HAWK or similar pad was all you really need. Track day included. The car is so light it doesn't take much to stop them. As for brake lines once you get into braided lines they had to be replaced often due to the sheath braking and rubbing into the line cause failure. Unless you mean the hard lines in which case I'm not sure I have never looked!

the factory setup is very good. no real need to upgrade. I used to lock up the factory goodyears and slide across the street all the time which is why i stopped using the factory tires (they are still mounted on the factory wheels in my garage) and the factory rotors. I changed out my rotors to slotted to help keep it from locking up as it did.
That being said, there is one guy who is installing a large brake upgrade right now. It uses redrilled rotors from another car and larger calipers. I will see if i remember to get the info and post it here
