[QUOTE="Imatk, post: 16181382, member: 75573"] So here's my experience FWIW. I "upgraded" the brakes on mine to the exact one OP mentioned. I actually found a pair of takeoffs on Ebay for 700 bucks. All in I think I spent about 900 bucks on the setup. I also did the rear brackets and rotors a little later which was another few hundred. If I had to do it again? I'd stick with the stock brakes. Why? The 13/14 are heavier both calipers and rotors, I bought a two-piece setup which was much lighter but cost me quite a bit to try and combat that [URL="https://www.girodisc.com/Girodisc-Front-2pc-Floating-Rotors-for-13-14-GT500_p_6701.html"]Girodisc Front 2pc Floating Rotors for 13-14 GT500[/URL] And the car stops well, but for my needs it stopped just as well before. I literally felt no difference. I wish I could say I DID but I didn't. The one thing I DID feel a difference in... well two things. 1. Brake pad 2. Tires I swapped the OEM pads for Carbotech Cermaic pads mostly because the dusting was insane with the OEM pads. The Ceramic pads do not stop as well as the OEM. Probably because they aren't as soft... but I have no idea. But no more black dust all over so I'm happy. On the track... maybe the larger rotor would make a difference but I don't track my car so it was literally a complete waste of money except for the fact that they look cool. But again... had I to do it over I wouldn't pay over 2k to have brakes that look cool... my pockets aren't that deep :) [/QUOTE]
