What kind of budget?

I can work with a full akebono set but I was curious to know if there was a drawback of running an akebono caliper in the front and keep the base caliper in the rear. Reason I made the post was mainly educational and my front calipers are fading. The rears still have a lot of bite but braking on the straightaways was slowly being earlier and earlier. I know some drift guys run a bigger caliper in the front only just to engage the car's slide better, while having a secondary caliper in the rear for the hydraulic hand brake.

Disregard what I said about a 6 piston. I meant to encourage myself on the akebono 4 piston in the front. Like I said... mainly educational. I wanted to hear some input in this instance.
