Does routine maintenance make my car cooler?

it’s only a mod if the rotors have RGB lighting

If you replace them before they’re worn out in search of different qualities, it’s a mod.
If you replace them because they’re metal on metal and about to start eating the caliper, it’s maintenance.

It only counts as a mod if you are going with something meaningfully better than OE. Larger rotors would count. Maybe drilled/slotted, if only for cosmetics.
But simply buying OE-spec low-dust pads would not count.

when I had the A llroad I wante d to get Porsche C ay e nne brakes rotors and calipers. It was a somewhat easy almost bolt-on swap. that dream was short lived.

Depends on what “new” means. When I upgraded my Mustang’s brakes to Cobra ones, m y new brakes were definitely a performance mod. But if “new” just means “fresh” or “unworn”, then no, that doesn’t count.
However, I have to concede that not all modifications are performance mods. So I like to use the word “tuning” instead when it comes to performance stuff, and leave “mod” loosely defined.

It’s only a mod if you do a disc-to-drum conversion.
Otherwise it’s just maintenance.

Disc->to->drum? Or drum->to->disc?

It already has discs (most likely, given the question), so drum-to-disc.
Yes, I understand the absurdity of going to drums from discs, which is exactly the point.

Mods are the worst thing to happen to cars. EVER. If you're parading a brake job as being a mod to get some kind of respect, you're an idiot

If you refer to any upgrade as a “ mod,” you’re an idiot.

If you refer to any mod as an “upgrade” you’re also an idiot.
Putting on stiffer suspension or a poorly fitted bodykit or a shit spoiler. It’s not an upgrade . It may makes the car better in one way. It often makes it unbearable in others. The market reflects this.
“Upgrade” is sugar coating the money you wasted
