I'll offer this just for the heck of it...I owned the 2015 GT/PP, after a wash...I had brake dust on my black after going around the block from the Brembo pads.

I now have a 2016 GT/Non PP, 20" foundry wheels. I don't track, race or autocross the car, just my DD. I do some sprited driving from time to time. The stock 4 piston and pads stop the car just fine and I no longer have the excessive brake to deal with.

I understand that the stock GT calipers won't perform as well as the Brembo's during competive application, but for now less brake dust works for me.

I think it's plenty for the car. My Mazda RX-8 weighted 3200lbs and had single piston front calipers and it stopped on the track time after time never faded. The factory 4 caliper bigger rotors will do just fine.

That curb rash matches your unskilled driving too. Lol.

That is PARKING, not driving.

Don't get the two confused! :cheers:

Yep. Higher friction/temp pads and fluid and it'll be great.

I don't get why the brembo arter market are 4K and wilwood or ford racing are 2k. Can't imagine your getting twice the product?
