Which brakes for spirited road 360+bhp?
flashp:
I have these:
Too much with Pagid RST3 pads on the road but they work effortlessly on track. Hard braking repeatedly from 130/145 doesn't phase them at all. They're also desirable if re-sale becomes necessary. They can stop a much more powerful car than mine at 340bhp.
Set yourself a budget otherwise the sky is the limit. Whatever caliper you go for consider a floating rotor. They manage heat far better.

I run the stop tech st41 kit. Amazing. Allot of track use. Never faded. Get better when hot. Don't get drilled disks though.

Very good advice!!
Don't 'over' brake the car !!

You'll never over brake a car. Look at touring cars.

Just need to ensure that the front and back are balanced in the force used.
