Brembo GT kit vs Stock brake..

I think my brakes are kinda loose after working that thing out for last 20K miles. I drive really aggressively. Constantly hitting 100mph. One day during the past summer, I noticed some noise from the brakes. It sounded like as if the brakes were making "woongngng' noise. Then ever since, I decided to change the brake rotors and pads, but I was kinda lazy about that. Since I am going to do some mods in a couple of days, I wanted to ask some questions about it. Actually, this is on the way now. I hope l feel like in this sequence once everything other than ECU is done.

Braking difference

There is noticeable braking feel between the Brembos and stock brakes, the brembos are definitely worth it.

Fast Cars!
Your barley gonna feel a difference unless you track the car. The Brembos are still only a 4 piston caliper, and the rotor is only slightly larger. Yes, it is lighter and dissipates heat better. But even for aggressive street driving, you wont feel a difference. Sure it will look 10x better! Thats the biggest advantage! :p
