My buddy has a used set of StopTech's for sale, front and rear. Great kit for track use. Hit him up.

What kind of race car do you have?
In my opinion standard evo brakes with better pads are enough for normal R&T use.
Standard brakes needs more pressure to the pedal to slow down the car fast but they are good. If you had problem with fading buy some big brake kit. Search only brands they are used in motorsport (brembo, AP...). Think if you need 380mm calipers because they are pretty heavy (unsprung mass). For example I had brembo gt big brake kit. they are for R&T use. If your car is pure race machine buy race brakes with race pads no doubts. but if you drive your car on road and track you need bigger brakes with good pads. pads are very important but it depends on what are you doing with your car. (initial bite, temperatures and so on). it is a lot of science behind good brakes
