Rotors and pads will purchase.
(Power Stop High-Performance Z23 Complete Brake set)

I try to upgrade the caliper.
I tried a search and could not find it.
Recommend a caliper that is compatible with my car.

No upgrades currently available for the caliper. The OEM calipers are very very good. Just remember to have them serviced regularly (slides/boots/etc.) and change brake fluid regularly (every 3 yrs/36,000 miles).

PP pads are an upgrade over the non-PP pads as far as OEM stuff goes. Not sure whether the Power Stop kit will outdo the PP pad/rotor combo. Are you going for looks or stopping power?

If you just wanted to put a cover on, you can get some from MGP, or you could have them powdercoated locally.

I just put on a complete power stop kit and so far I've been much happier with them over the OE rotors and pads. I have an non-PP car as well. I think with a little more time they'll get better but they're pretty good right out of the box. Be sure to follow the pad bedding procedure to make sure you get a good layer of pad material on the new rotors.

Did your power stop kit have vented rear rotors? I want to get new pads and rotors so I can save the originals and let them set on a shelf with all the other parts I removed in the first 100 miles (filters, belt, wipers, etc.) I just want to make sure what ever I get is vented in the rear like the originals.

The factory pp pads are horible dust makers...

Sorry for the late reply, but to answer your question...Yes. The rear rotors are vented. I just returned from my trip to SC after putting the kit on and they have definitely gotten better with some miles. It seems that when they're initially cold they don't bite as well as when they've warmed up...but still lots better than the OE's they replaced.
