[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 11104631, member: 15703"] I think that depends on what type of tracking you are doing. If you're building a TT car, you're going to replace all of that anyway, so yes. However you're talking about doing some items that cost a good bit of coin. The willwood kit at all 4 corners is going to eat up most of the cost of just the brembo package alone and you haven't even addressed tires, or suspension yet. For somebody that does a couple track days a year, it doesn't make sense to have a track suspension under the car that 90% of the time doesn't see track time. In that circumstance, the brembo package makes perfect sense as you get all the bits you'd want for tracking in a cheap package that still remains livable on the street. The brembo package is a huge bargain for what you get. Like I said, not suited for everybody's needs, but saying it's not worth the money is a little out there. Let Ford subsidize the costs for you. To put something similar or moderately better together will cost you well in excess of the brembo package's $1700.00 price tag. I'd also politely disagree that the base brakes would be as good on track with a fluid and pad upgrade. From 60 to zero, and upgraded tires, sure they will stop as well. However the significantly large brembo rotor not only allows for greater fade resistance, but also provides a large boost in braking torque. You don't see results from this in simple 60 to zero tests. Those tests are for street cars. What you really need to look at is velocity reductions within a range of speeds, specifically those above 100 mph to below. Say 130 to 60ish. The increased brake torque plays a huge roll here. Where you may be able to get the base brakes not to fade with some small upgrades, they'll never slow you as fast from those speeds. This translates directly to elapsed times. If everything was equal, the driver than can brake later will come out on top. [/QUOTE]
