You could have just replaced the front rotors with an aftermarket light weight rotor. Those stoptech calipers aren't any more sturdy than akebonos since they arent an actual race caliper.

For the $$$ I wouldnt have recommended this at all. Maybe if you stayed 4 pot but went with an AP racing caliper that is truely a lot more lighter weight and better built. But the specific brake kit you bought isnt going to gain you ANY performance difference than stock akebonos. You dropped what 3.5 lbs for $3,000? Also your piston size only went up a couple mm, also in no way going to show an improvement on the track at all. You would have seen MUCH better performance improvements while spending a lot less money by simply swapping rotors with a 2 piece DBA rotor, some aftermarket track pads, and high temp brake fluid, ss brake lines, and some brake cooling ducts.
Just my .2 but if you already had sports package brakes, this specific brake kit you bought is total waist of money and a little RICE if its just "#becausestoptech"
