Re: Bigger Front Brakes
Hyundai Genesis brembos and Nissan Rogue (with 3rd row seat) rotors. Bolts right up, but you'll need +30 offset, +35s with 5mm spacers, or OEM rims with at least 20mm spacers to clear.

Let me collect more data about the swap, because apparently DC5R brembos and S2K rotors are a bolt on upgrade, too. I'll post up what I find

Genesis/Rogue combo:
- Calipers: OEM Genesis Coupe brembo calipers, any year. Caliper mounting pattern is the same as the 10thgen
- Rotors: Front rotors (320mm x 26mm) from a Nissan Rogue that is equipped with 3rd row seating. From my bit of google searching, MY 2017+ S and SV trims may be your best bet
- Spacers or aftermarket wheels (18"+ recommended) required for fitment (list below includes popular offsets for wheel choices on the 10thgen). Keep in mind that the spacer thing is approximate. The goal here is to get at least 3.5mm clearance between the caliper and the spokes of the wheel. The 20mm and +35 with 5mm spacer options are the ones I've read about working, and all those push the wheel hub to about the position that a +30 would.
- 20mm spacers for OEM wheels (assuming +50 offset for OEM)
- +45 offset with 15mm spacers
- +35 offset with 5mm spacers
- +30 offset with no spacers
- Brake dust shield trimming is required
- Because my google-fu is strong, found a link you can buy it as a kit, so no guessing required.
- On one person's BBK setup, they used StopTech Sport 309.10010 pads. That said, any of the vehicles on the fitment list below that were equipped with OEM brembo calipers should fit:
- 2004 - 2008 Acura TL
- 2012 - 2017 Buick Regal
- 2018 - 2020 Buick Regal Sportback
- 2013 - 2019 Cadillac ATS
- 2016 - 2020 Cadillac CT6
- 2004 - 2019 Cadillac CTS
- 2006 - 2011 Cadillac STS
- 2013 - 2019 Cadillac XTS
- 2016 - 2020 Chevrolet Camaro
- 2014 - 2019 Chevrolet Corvette
- 2005 - 2006 Ford GT
- 2007 - 2014 Ford Mustang
- 2017 - 2019 Honda Civic
- 2010 - 2014 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
- 2003 - 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer
- 2009 - 2009 Pontiac G8
- 2011 - 2011 Saab 9-5
- 2017 - 2018 Subaru BRZ
- 2003 - 2014 Subaru Impreza
- 2013 - 2017 Subaru WRX STI
- 2019 - 2020 Toyota 86
- 2004 - 2007 Volvo S60
- 2004 - 2007 Volvo V70
- Calipers: 2002-2006 DC5R brembo calipers
- Rotors: Front rotors (282mm x 23mm) from a 2002-2009 Honda S2000
- Pads: The video I found (linked below), guy used G35/350Z hawk pads (I can only assume this link is for the correct pads. The link on his youtube description is broken. Couldn't find much else on this swap, other than it's the same size rotor as OEM (different rotor offset) with better calipers, and lighter weight than the Gen/Rogue combo
