1-piston to 4-piston caliper upgrade + brake upgrade + caliper rebuild =]
Well so i have had my fc fro about 2 years now
we have had its bonding moments
and moments where i just plain hate it
but this is just an example of when we bond lol enjoy
so first of all i have never changed brakes on my car before
let alone every changed brakes in the first place

next
so i tried out this place called 88rotors
ordered slotted rotors and pads from them
better than what i had before
and then i sent the calipers as cores to get freshly rebuilt ones (this is a good thing because i have warranty and anything goes wrong with the calipers its their behind)

hahaha yeah it feels good
way better than the scratching sound it had because the rotors were just done and far from being resurfaced
i haven't done the SS brake lines yet
its in the process
it came out pretty good for an 18 year old first year college student and the help of my brother for bleeding the lines and holding tools or switching off we got down
thanks for checking out my posts =] appreciate it

quote from another forum
As for the FD rotors on the FC... Lots of people ask why do such a thing when they hold the same pad... The FC ones are lighter, but after struggling with a 2 page story in Japanese in Hyperev, I have learned that the FD calipers are much stronger than the fc calipers, they don't flex into a v shape as much apparently, the number thrown around was 30% more rigid...So the little gain in weight is worth something....
