I use Brembo OE discs with Mintex M1144 pads. The pads are less hardcore than DS2500 and work well from cold.

Just as importantly I use Millers RBF300 brake fluid.

Never had any fade at all but the discs do turn blue occassionally

BTW they discs last well as do the pads. 12000 miles in and only a very small lip on the discs and pads not even half worn

From what i've read and friends have experienced the newest DS2500 compound is prone to falling apart prematurely so i'd avoid them. I had an old compound set and they lasted a good 5 years and tens of thousands of miles, including a few trackdays and laps of the 'ring. Mine worked fine from cold.

I didn't have any issues using standard calipers with decent fluid and braided lines with decent pads, and they were fine on trackdays too once i got some ducting to help get rid of some heat. The only reason i went on to 4-pots is because i knew the standard calipers probably wouldnt have coped with the extra power i wanted after supercharging, especially as it's just a track car so the brakes take some abuse.
For fast road use i'd say the standard calipers themselves are good enough for the job.

I was under the impression that the g88's were only used to stop the squeal you get from the brembo calipers.
At the end of the day most brake discs are just the same thing imo, the cheap brembo discs are alright from experience, it's the pads that do most of the work.
I'm using carbotech xp8 pads in my current setup and I think they are fantastic. Not been able to get any fade yet, they work great from cold and aren't too harsh on the discs. I can't say I find the dust too excessive but they only really get used on trackdays so the wheels get washed inside and out after each day, even if they don't have them pads in as a stock item the guy who I spoke to there custom made mine to my spec. The only down side to them is the lead time and price, but that's not an issue as I'll just order my replacements before they're needed and ive found you get what you pay for when it comes to car parts.

On my old 6 which was standard power just stripped out, breath and handling mods. All I ever ran was paid discs and pads on standard calipers and they were always fine on road and track.
