I found info on most items needed, but nothing more on brackets or if they work on the later models.

You are correct. With a smaller surface area at a given pressure the psi wil be higher.

Yes I believe hawk makes a single piece pad, I know for sure there is a company that makes them just can't recall for sure off the top of my head.

If I were to change it up, I would start with a pad swap, unless you want to throw the coin at a nonfactory setup. I really don't think we have a lot of options from the factory right now. I would love to stuff CTS-V calipers on there, but that won't likely be happening with my 17s and who knows what that would take to engineer.
