Any particular reason you're doing this?

What are you hoping to gain?

Can you please be more specific?

Are you experiencing brake fade after repeated stops from high speeds? If by better braking performance you mean shorter stopping distances, then what you need are stickier tires.

He drives a Lux edition. He has no idea what that means most likely. He just wants to stop faster. Get better tires before you get higher friction pads. Thats how you stop faster/shorter.

Running 245 285.

Should I go wider huh?

The front pads need replacing... I much rather get a better pad unless the msport ones are better... I might just opt for the m4 pad since its a direct fit
