    Yes! I love shenanigans.

    @CcSisu are you looking for new calipers and everything, just pads, pads and rotors?

    Are you just looking for just a pad and rotor upgrade, or you willing to spend the money to get a big brake kit for max braking performance?

    Most will agree that EBC is the go-to for a pad and rotor upgrade. If you're into a BBK, Wilwood, Alcon, R1 Concepts, Rotora, Stoptech offer them for the 3rd gen but wheel size is a factor to consider as not all of them will fit under the most common 17" or 18" wheel.

    I'm familiar with EBC pads, but are the rotors a "true" upgrade, I.E. better metallurgy, cryo-treated, etc. or your typical drilled/dimpled and/or slotted rotor?

    Don't need lift to run any BBK. The only kit that won't fit under an 18" wheel is the Stoptech. I currently have the Wilwoods on my '24 and will be swapping for Alcons once my stainless lines get off backorder. Alcon is what I would recommend but I was also happy with the Wilwoods. Neither of these two companies offer a rear kit though.
