I know this sounds stupid, but I'm going to run DS2500 on the front but I've spoke to people who've said that the Brembo ones from GSF are enough as little of the braking done to the rear. This does sort of make a bit of sense, but what is everyone here running?

Well I haven't got 1k to spunk on 330 Brembos for the front, so just 283 Brembo discs on standard calipers it is then!

330mm brembos and ds2500's front and 17's and yokos......
Currently standard rear but literally about to replace. Was contemplating uprated pads but don't think it's necessary really. Going for drilled and grooved rear discs but purely coz im a tart not for better breaking lol

Saying that, you need 17's to get the power down on a charged 6 and need them brakes to stop it!

Supercharging something that weighs less than my laptop is going to end up giving you wheelspin
