Default I'd go with either StopTech or Stasis (Alcon), with the nod going to StopTech because it's more

affordable and since everyone has them, you'll have little problem finding pads if you burn through yours at the track.

I have the 13.1" Brembo kit and they stop VERY well. I've never experienced fade. Great kit IMO.

Default If money is not an issue....

Just drop $6.5K and get the Brembo 4wheel kit.

Default I have the Alcon 14" World Challenge six piston front brakes.

Stasis upgraded rear disks, braided lines front &amp; rear, S8 upgraded rears, Pagid RS14 front pads and Porterfield R4 rear pads (Race pads).

I think you'd be hard pressed to find better/lighter (10 lbs/side lighter than stock on fronts).

As for how they stop...like hitting a brick wall.

You should also consider what fits under your wheels.. unless you want to run a 100mm spacer
