I believe you continue to use the stock style pads for the bigger 2 piston caliper... so availability will be good.

While getting 12hp from brakes is nice, that isn't all that much on a ~400hp and the reason to upgrade brakes is NOT for horsepower, IMO. A loss of 12hp ain't much when you can stop a whole lot faster (though, I realize in that link he was in fact upgrading is stopping power, just saying)
