The stock brake calipers are
pretty good units, especially on a street FC3S. There is no easy and cheap
way to upgrade the calipers (only) without going to an expensive brake upgrade
kit. If the calipers are kept in good shape and condition, they will give
you formidable brake power, especially with a good set of upgrade brake pads.
If you're going to do some serious racing, it might be a good idea to
duct some fresh air into the brake calipers to keep the cool. One of the
worst enemies for brakes is extreme heat. Although all the FC3S models
have some sort of brake ducting, it does not hurt to have more air flowing to
the brake calipers - in this case, more is better!
