New brakes Brembo Max in front and Brembo in back
Brakes i try and stick with Brembo, they seem to be the best from all the ones I've tried on the race bikes, they do enough compounds that you can really fine tune what type of riding you're doing as well.
I used my stock tires 15k mi + 6 track days + 2 driver skill courses - brake fluid (Motul RBF600) - brake pads (I used Ferodo DS2500 on the fronts)
I think I figured out why the brakes are so weird feeling. Even after I got them to firm up, they never really felt like I'm used to in my old STI or 911. I bought OBD11 to make some changes for track and had an ah ha moment. The last change to make was for hydraulic brake assist, but I couldn't get it to work in OBD11 because I didn't have the correct security code. Took a couple of days to find it, but I drove around with the other changes and brakes felt the same. I finally found the code and deactivated Hydraulic brake assistance in the 03 module and they brakes actually work like a normal car now. Holy cow, night and day difference.
Cut to 2019 and I added Ferodo Racing 2500 pads to the front and they worked GREAT at NJMSP, still with the EBC rears.
This years projects are all done.. finally got the rear big brakes finished and they came out great.. a lot of work but, brake pedal feel is just as good as with the fronts only, and this thing will make your teeth fly out when you put them down.
The pedal feels f*ckin awesome, and holy **** do these things stop.
Ferodo DS2500 (street/track)-$290.00
Tried EBC Green Stuff but they did not work for me; now I'm using Ferodo DS Performance. They work well on OEM and EBC Turbo Grove discs.
Those Brembo pads that cost $500 a set are total trash, too. They are low friction and still real dusty. I threw mine in the trash at like 2000 miles.
