I have brembos too and I put the stoptech 2 piece floating rotor up front with Carbotech XP8 pads and still have stock rear rotors with carbotech XP6. The stopping power of the XP8 is amazing. I can literally get into ABS if I want to at 120+mph. I did a stop from 150-60 and was amazed at how quick that happend. I use to have the XP6 upfront which was good, but the XP8 is considerably better IMHO. And to think they still have an XP10 and XP12....
I know they are more of a track pad, but I use them on the street with no problem. Has some more dust then usuall, but the stopping power is worth it. They sometimes sqeak, but it doesnt bother me.

Throw some hawk brake pad and flush the system (if you havent in the last year) with some Motul. I take it you have braided lines???
When I had the 6pot BBK it was over kill for the street (big time) I did a couple 180 plus runs and I still think the stock brembos would have been just fine with the right brake pads.

Bert im happy for you as i know what you went thru and that vid is cool as hell.....i bet i know were that was.I will ride in it as long as i can tie a baggy on the end of a member when i **** myself.
Off topic make sure and check the rotors that i got for the jeep as there are 2 different listings and the rear shoes could be either 9 or 10".Shawna has the reciet if needed.

Thanks for your input, I know you drive hard so your opinion is helpful.

You must have wheelspin problems at 100+ right?
The fastest car I have ever been in was a Ivey-tuned 575 awhpr Evo...felt like a time warp and all 4 tires broke loose at ~100....I wonder how your car feels in comparison.

Nice Setup Alberto.
Too bad we're not closer. Would be nice to try another car out that can do 700+rwhp and see how it goes (lots of "closed tracks" round these parts too hehehehe).
I'm thinking cams now instead of rear-gear (**** maybe both)....ahhhhhh...this never ends....
