There's not really anything cost-effective out there. There' a couple BBKs available, but I believe they'll all fall into the $2K range. I've also seen Evo brakes adapted to an FC, that may be a better option if you really need upgraded brakes. Really, the stock 4-piston calipers are plenty for 90% of the FCs out there. Get a nice set of pads and you're good.

Your best bet is to get the 4 piston calipers, thats if you dont have them already. They came on the gxl's and the t2's. Get some normal blank rotors as they are more effective than the drilled ones. There is an article somewhere on the forum. A nice set of pads, and stainless steel lines and you should be set.
