Yes, I've done some research on this topic as well because i was also concerned about fade and the like. The later model 164s mostly came with vented ATE front brakes, and as far as i've heard, they are a direct fit. 240 swaps have also been done, but they are a bit more involved. Also, the brakes that the 140 comes with stock, are actually pretty good sized, its just the fact that they aren't vented and all.... Anyway, the things to upgrade would be the pads(i'm running nice and cheap, at certain places..., PBR MetalMaster pads), and good high temp fluid, either dot 4 or 5. And, also, stock 140s come with four piston front calipers, and two piston rear calipers, and this is outdoing many new vehicles... Anyway, its up to you. I may eventually upgrade to the ATE Vented rotors and calipers, but i've found that they are a bit harder to come by replacements and rotors and such. Also, i've been satisfied thus far with the performance of the stock components with PBR Metal Masters(no squealing, little brake dust, CHEAP, lol) and some Castrol dot 4 brake fluid. Happy travels, and have a great Thanksgiving, to everyone! While i trumble away to make little chips at this stupid WR 121 paper that was due on tues... damn
