Is there any concern with the drop in size of the brakes?

Some of the guys who know brakes I'm sure can give you better reasons, but lighter car means you don't need bigger rotors.

That is my thinking too. I was just wondering.

On another note, is there any point to upgrading to Brembo brakes on a 2LT? Do they need to be changed more/less than the stock brakes? Do they cost more/less than the stock brakes to change?

I would assume the pads and rotors cost more for the brembo's

I assume that too. But they are better brakes and thus need to be replaced less, so could they end up being cheaper in the long run?

The pads themselves have more to do with wear. The Brembo upgrade would just mean more stopping power in terms of hardware. If the pads they use on the upgrade are more performance oriented, there could be more brake dust and faster wear.
