Yea, the 2 pad monoblocks are better, not necessarily the ones on the 1098 either, but the ones in the kit from Brembo with the light weight rotors.

The 4 pad calipers arn't bad, but they are heavy and they don't dissipate heat in the same way. The 2 pad calipers work a bit better in that department, which helps on tracks where the brakes get a bit squishy.

The best "brake" related upgrade (besides pads) is the larger master cylinder.
