Thanks for the reply, custom lines was exactly what I was thinking. I already have to have lines made for the stock brakes, so if I can upgrade to vented rotors I'd be happy. If the bolt spacing is the same on the newer calipers, it's just a matter of lateral spacing to center the caliper on the rotor.

I'd like to autocross this beast from time to time, but the more spirited driving on back roads, for up to 45minutes at a time is the real goal. This car handles so well just with tires alone, I'm planning a stiffer spring set as well. I want to try some universal racing coils in the front instead of the v-performance to keep cost down, and I have a set of overload coils for a 240 wagon I'm going to cut down and seat in the rear.
