If i can retrofit STI brakes that will cool better and have arguably more torque for $1500 for all 4 axles vs buying a $2000 set for just the front that will mess up the bias even more then i think i should do it. Or $4000+ for a full set of upgraded brakes. That's a crazy amount of money if I am not building a purpose built race car.

If it is working for you then go with it. Without real world data to compare with others with different setups, it will be difficult to assess. It’s not like you are a race team that can analyze everything to death. You are literally just going by feel and your track times. If the correct brakes improve your times by a “x” amount is it worth twice the cost. Only you can answer that question. But based on what many are saying and brembo themselves, your braking could be better. The cost/benefit will always be debatable and subjective.
