You can upgrade the rotors as long as you retain the stock size allowing you to use the stock calipers/pads. If you want to go with larger rotors you need new calipers and pads...big brake kit.

As for lowering, have you considered coil overs? Check out the Tein Basics and Tein SS.

-ROTORA BBK (BLUE CALIPERS)

Looking at your Sig, you are planning to go with a Rotora BBK eventually.

So, just to be clear, you CANNOT get the BBK rotors now and the BBK caliper and pads later. You need to do the BBK in one shot.

You CAN get a stock size Rotora Slotted or Combo rotor now, then add pads later. But with out the pads, you won't get the most out of the upgraded rotors.

Search for "tein ss" or "tein" and you'll find some pretty happy reviews. Alot of people here run them.

ROTORA offers OE replacement rotors and also a ROTORA Big Brake Kit. A Big Brake Kit will include oversized rotors and larger calipers. This will require you to buy an entire BBK not piece by piece.

If you want to do just discs now you can get OE replacement slotted or drilled and slotted discs and you can use them with the OE pads. However, if you have a vibration in the pedal currently I wouldn't recommend re-using the pads.

Most consumers do not experience a squeak with TEIN coilovers and if they do there are ways to fix it: rubber isolators. TEIN sells them.
