Yes it’s a track car, the OE Akebonos with Hawk HTC pads are triggering ice mode too much. Hence, looking to upgrade AP or Stoptech Trophy 6 piston kit. Ideally with 355-362mm for my 18’s.
I am planning to keep the stock rears and see how they perform.

Another question I have is, am I be able to use the Z1 2 piece rotor on a AP/Stoptech caliper? Reason is I can get the 6 pot calipers alone without their rotors.

you need to check the specs your self but i'm pretty sure they use a bigger rotor than stock

Ice mode is primarily a brake balance/driver input issue. Replacing the calipers before determining what kind of brake compound agrees with your brake systems, track, driving, and tires will 100% create more issues for you.

If I were in your position I would play around with different pad compounds before adding another variable into the equation.

Bigger calipers do look awesome though. That's 90% of why I bought a sport model lol :driving:

Thanks the info. I was going to get XP10 and XP8 to try like most people suggested but also want to upgrade the brakes as I found a deal that I don’t want to pass on...

sounds like you're buying calipers to buy calipers
not because you're interested in correcting a particular problem or improving a lap time

whatever, its your money

but if you can't even afford the rotors . . . can you REALLY afford the calipers?

I don’t know what you are trying to imply but I just bought a set of Z1 rotors that was why asking if the calipers will fit with Z1 rotors

I'm not implying anything

Im saying straight up you seem like ur tryna save a buck and hope a square peg will fit a round hole

The brembo Gt calipers are made for OEM sized rotors, it's even described that way on the z1 website listing

The others are made for bigger rotors

Stoptech BBK is in. Monday first track day to test them out. Super excited

Looks like a 6 pot, did you up grade your rears too?

Definitely 6 piston. Beautiful too!

Could be an interesting ride if he did not ip grade rears to a 4 pot!

I can say with confidence that upgrading front akebonos only to bbk is not only interesting but fantastic ride. Had full confidence in braking lap after lap from 130+mph with zero fade and great balance. And best part was driving 2 hours home with butter smooth brakes with no sign of pad deposits left behind that would be causing judder. Ferodo ds1.11 and xp8 combo matched pretty well. I should add I have yaw sensor delete. My new personal best today at njmp thunderbolt was 1:33.2s.
