I saw the which kit car 5exi yeturday that has a massive servo and abs, mark took it around castle combe and said how much better the brakes were as it had this massive sero rather than just 2 master cyclinders, but you dont to get as much feedback through the pedal.

Its all down to driver style and what you like and what you dont, the wilwood brake may be good powerful if you dont run abs as there is not alot of wieght in the front of the car to get the grip on the tyres.

The main reason that we are having bigger brakes is due to the fact I drive a rover 214 on the road with vented ebc sports disks and they are good but from 50-0mph it does take a fair distance to stop. Even though we have half the wieght in our race car we also have double the power of my road car, so upgrading the brakes on our car was a must.
