Caliper upgrade?

Been thinking about a big brake kit. Has anyone just upgraded the capilers on the stock rotors, if so any real improvement?

Any info on the upgrade question would be helpful.

The calipers are not the problem, the rotor cooling is.If you can cool the rotor better or replace them with ones that do. the rotors that I use now are NASCAR and cool very well and have not had any fade since. temps are mild caliper runs around 400 degrees and rotor is over 800 so if you keep the caliper cool you will not have any problems if you choose the correct temputrue pads.Stan
