Brembo calipers will be fine. Just add good discs, fluid, pads and pipes. (in my opinion)

well I will be getting braided brake lines whilst the car is off the road and when it's ready to go back on I will getting fresh fluid, discs were brand new in march this year but might be worth upgrading when new pads go in

The parts I will be buying will be 400bhp capable, and my car is mainly a fast road car although next year I would like to do a little track time depending how things come along with the styling side that I am going to be doing too as I don't want to be putting a freshly sprayed car on track.

The other thing I want to know is at what power level should I look at upgrading my brembos?
Fair enough mate - I thought you may have been 400 and 399 isn't good kinda thing, my bad, thats where is gets mad lol

i'd personally update brakes before a map altogether - I found the standard STI setup is good for 320ish, any more an they struggle, I had mine glowing which wasn't good at all - as they went applying.

Not sure what to use though - H supplied all my stuff

not at all mate I say 400 as everything I plan on buying will be 400 capable but if my engine only manages 380 safely then that's fine, I definitely don't want to over stress the engine and end up rebuilding it a couple of months after spending shed loads of cash to get a good spec. I have a friend of a friend that might be able to get me some pro r alcon 6 pots cheap or better than cheap so I will see what he comes up with before I definitely decide as it doesn't really matter if the brakes are left till a week before it's due back on the road as it won't be used until it's ready, it may get a little trip round the block here and there but nothing that would require any heavy braking anyway
