The Akebono sport kit really is quite good and well balanced for the car. Is a 6 pot an upgrade, sure it is. I would love the AP's or a real Brembo kit. But with your pads and tires matched, the braking on this car is more than sufficient at its horsepower. Spending 5-6 grand for maybe 1.5 seconds though you better be pretty seriously competing. Can spend the money wiser and more effectively imo. I think the akebono is more in the 1500-2K range?
