Most here would probablly say OEM are best! Which is mostly true for every day driving, i suppose.

But if you want a bbk.

I'd look at F-sport, Brembo, Project Mu, etc................

best brakes for looks? or for stopping? or for low maint? or for EBFD compatibility? i would find a different answer for all those 'bests'.

What are they telling you endless for?

As just pointed out, "best" depends on what you want it to be best at.

For stopping distance under normal driving conditions for example your OEM system that came with your car will perform -exactly- the same as a $7000 aftermarket kit.


For looking cool behind big open-spoke wheels, the $7000 kit will be "better"

IS-F Brembo Kits can give you everything by better performance for repeat brake and drive like circuit and also look awesome for public. The only bad new was it too expensive!!!

If you have a 350 the OEM brakes are already pretty top notch. For anything other than extreme track use they will hold up just as good as any aftermarket kit.

^ swap to a 350 bbk for a low budget solution.
