Exactly... People may say they're on a track and not need higher grade brakes. But if you're driving on a track just to speed and not really "TRULY PUSH LIMITS" Then a brake upgrade of any kind is useless. But someone pushing limits at high speed?? Spend the money!! It's more than worth it. Brake/suspension mods are more important than power mods. Don't believe any reverse hype.
