I have read up on the ppv brake upgrade, but don't think they are right for me, the 4 piston front brake upgrade from the newest gen standard front brakes seems a much better deal for not spending much more than our stock brakes. they are 13.50in verse our 12.99in rotor and 4 piston calipers vs our 2 piston. Has any here done this upgrade? Seems it need washers just like the PPV system. Thanks!

I wonder how many folks have done before and after 60/70 to 0 tests to see if these mods are actually worth the effort?

A quick look through Car & Driver shows about the same distance between K2s and T1s despite the latter being 200 pounds heavier.

If you drive like you stole it, the upgrade will definitely be worth it.
If you drive Miss Daisy, the 12.99" rotors bitten by 2 pistons will be FINE (unless you are easy to surprise).
