Brakes Help

Well after lots of high speed stopping my brakes are shot, I have noticed they dont grab as hard and front shakes under high speed braking. Can you guys recommend a break set up for my 11 sho that is good enough for DD and some high speed runs at the 1/4 mile with hard stopping at the end? I dont want something too expensive as I dont plan to autocross but would like a small upgrade over stock. I want pads and rotors. Thanks!

If you are hard on your brakes, whatever you get, have the rotors cryo treated, they will hold up much better to the abuse.

EBC rotors (plain would be best) with YellowStuff pads should work well.  Or, if available, get StopTech High Carbon Rotors (or Autozone's Duralast High Carbon Rotors), and pair up with Hawk HPS pads.

I know shoman04 likes his Power Stop setup even for the occasional track use, but I recommend them more for DD duty.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
