I guess the 1st question is what front brakes are you running? The factory FC brakes (vented rotors/5lug) are a good factory design.

Are you running a full blown race car with upgraded power? Are you seeing limits to the current braking system?

From when i last looked into this there is a good amount of work to be done to get the FD ones to fit. There isnt much of a point to it because the cons outweight the pros. Like GNX7 said are you seeing the limits of the current braking system. The FC braking system is very good from factory compared to other cars. Just get some good rotors, check your calipers (make sure they are in good working order, no pistons seized), get some SS lines, change/flush fluid, get some good brake pads and that should be sufficient.

Corksport has a big rear brake kit, but you probably don't need one.
