Default Classic brake upgrade with 16's

Hi, I have a v3 sti with the subaru 4 pot calipers on! Looking to do some sprints and so was pondering a brake upgrade.
Are the calipers I already have rated? Must admit they don't feel incredible, I have red stuff pads on the front but never really hammered the brakes to see what they are like warm.
Is there a better brake combo out there that will keep my standard 16" wheels?
Would love some gold brembo's but feel I would have a better handling car on 16's
What would be best for a sprint car?
Cheers

4pot fronts/2pot rears, to keep the car level under braking. Both with stainless pistons, and f295mm/r290mm grooved discs.
You could use 2-piece front rotors, with an alloy hub, to dissipate the heat.
road/track pad - orange stuff
track/road pad - cl5+

You can make Brembo GT calipers, off a seat leon, or porsche monobloc calipers, off a boxster s, fit under 16".

as above Subaru four pots on the front and 2 pots on the rear with a good set of pads will make a world of difference I run this set up on my sprint car with performance friction 01 pads all round with motel dot4 race fluid and the car stops with sprints you want a pad that's bits well from cold n

Are we talking these four pots? As I do have them fitted! If so what discs should I be looking at? Cheers

Ok cool, il stick with these for a bit then to save costs, after some coilovers too just get some new discs and pads and should be good to go then, worth getting braided hoses?
