The OEM brake pads were painfully inadequate for anything more than street driving. Interestingly enough, the rest of the brake components were designed very good and they have a lot of capacity. A simple pad upgrade and brake fluid flush proved sufficient for more serious track days.
I vastly prefer my R to the BMW. I think the R drives better, its more tossable, i feel like the steering is better weighted and the brakes are much better.
Brembo's
It's a very noticeable difference when compared to the stock 10.1" (on my 99 4-door that is). You add a little bit more weight up front, but it's worth it since you get much better stopping power. I will never go back to the stock brakes, I love my G60 brakes
The rear brakes are a rotor and pad upgrade with the calipers matched to the front by Brembo in Brembo Blue.
I fitted it to my Rallye. Braking power was great, but with the ABS system it losed feel. I removend the ABS and went on a conventional system and is wonderful
I've driven a Cupra R and can attest to their great stopping ability. IMO not as good as the AP's but for the price difference, they are worth it.
i have it installed on my corrado g60 and it is a great upgrade just bolted straight on (you do have to be carefull that your wheelsize is ok, et value has to be low enough) Overhere in Belgium and the Netherlands almost every corrado swapped to the cupra brakes (I know my self at least 20 people who have them and are very very very happy with them)
So what pads are you using with the Brembos? Was it $320 for four discs?
the steering lacks the consistent weighting and tactile communication that a Porsche offers. For a car this rapid, it's not as talkative as it should be. We've also got reservations about the brakes. Our test car was fitted with competition-grade brake pads to cope with track use, but they still faded badly after a handful of hard laps.
