speed 3 stock calipers are good enough and provide adequate stopping power.

and then you will realize the stock brakes are excellent, the only problem ive had is that on the track, you will start melting all the rubber parts.


stock pads are excellent, i ran with hp+ which had a weird pedal feel

Echoing above...for street use the brakes on these cars are pretty damn good. With just a simple pad upgrade you can gain a bit more fade resistance which pretty well covers what's needed.

I've wished I could graft the Alcon GTR kit onto my car. Overkill and a half, but so purdy.
