I went with the 4-pot Trophy Sport kit for the front and rear to clear my 18" track wheels. So I don't have the benefit of the larger 380mm front rotors to dissipate heat. I seriously doubt the 355mm rotor up front will be an issue with my limited track experience but I may as well give them the most cooling possible if removing the dust shields doesn't pose a problem.

Thoughts?

This E9x brake cooling backing plate is adaptable to your stoptech's according to hpcarbon.
