Welcome to SN

Have the discs checked for run-out. Could be warped or just pad deposits.

If you are overheating the standard brakes, better discs and pads will be a big step forward.

Best to ask your dealer, but yes we have supplied uprated discs at the dealers expense before.

Do what i did & throw the std sliding calipers & fit STI brakes all round, not had any problems since, & it does actually stop the car now.
