1pc caliper? Not sure I follow.

You mean a single function caliper such as a two pot or four pot without the p-brake?

I just installed dba drilled/slotted rotors along with ebc yellowstuff pads in the front. I went to the track yesterday and i am VERY happy with the stopping power and 0 brake fade

Old survey apparently, but sure!

Went with slotted as I've seen comments here & elsewhere that drilled have a tendency to crack/break.

what I would like...

BIG 15 inch rotors with six piston calipers for the front and 13 inch four piston calipers for the rear. Sold as a kit with Stainless Steel brake lines and optional backing plates that accept cooling duct hoses. (a four wheel kit around $3000.00 with optional backing plates)

With pad and rotor replacements that are inexpensive...(...e.g., $80.00 and $160.00)

Motor on!
