My opinion anyway

Once you start adding extra hp, you will have to upgrade your suspension and brakes to cope with it.

Again, for street use, this car doesn't need the Brembos. Once you start road-racing or auto-crossing, that's a different story! Can you do it? Sure, but you'll have to go slower.

And as somebody else mentioned, race-spec brake fluid is a must if you're going to do that!

What brake fluid do you guys suggest?

Castrol SPF is one of the best but it's very pricey! I've used ATE Blue and Motul 600 and have no complaints with either of them.

I just upgraded to the brembos, and to whoever says that they are not needed in the V6 are right but now that I have them I would not go back to the stock brakes, the car feels more solid and straight on hard braking, those couple of feet that some of you guys feel are not necessary might save you a lot of trouble one day.

I've got non RS 2010 Synergy with 19 inch rims. Will the Brembos fit 19 inch rims?
