Yep, go ring Unique Auto Sports in Seven Hills & speak to John.
He'll sort you the HSV combo if you've got $1600 spare....

What ya running under the hood?
The GPX brake calipers are the same as Evo I to III.. So just update to slotted rotors.. Unless you need the extra stopping for the track.. But Aza does fine with his..

I have seen Evo III put out 200+ on all four wheels with stock brakes.. I think u should be fine..
Me engine was putting out 238kw at the front wheels and has now been worked and put back into the Evo platform.. All stock brakes.. Well slotted rotors that is..

Sonata was heavier then the FTO.. The stereo was full of MDF, TV's, DVD and a truck battery in the boot too..

Also remember just because the calipers are the same doesn't mean the rotor offset is.
