What you do not say is what wheels and tires, which are a critical part of the analysis.

Sell the aluminum calipers and buy NEW steel "A" calipers from our host. The braking improvement is more than worth the tradeoff in unsprung weight.

If you like bleeding brakes use ATE blue. I recommend Castrol SRF at $80/liter, it's not cheap, but you only change it once a year (to prevent rust in the brake system) because it has a 518F WET boiling point.

Once you leave the S brakes behind with their 19mm pad requirement you can use good old PF97 which are about half the price of Pagids and work better.
