    Looking to do a solid brake replacement wanted to know what people think is the most durable and has the best stopping power?

    The question is what is it that the stock brakes do not do for you?

    Urkle Urkle Urkle. Such a bad boy you are!

    But why LOL @ Bembro rotors?

    So. Any chance this screamer is a 5 lug?

    Do the OE brakes bite enough to activate the ABS? If so, once that happens the rest of the stopping is based on tire grip, not brakes.

    However, if your need fresh bits because you've worn out what you have,

    Bembro rotors, Axis Metal Master or Hawk HPS pads, proper service/adjust rear drums, fresh fill/bleed with Castrol LMA fluid, and proper bedding of the new pads will handle the brake side of things.

    Tire grip will depend on lots of things, including the surface you are running on.

    a very wise question ....................................

    in quite a few areas many think an 'UPgrade '

    ' Custom ' is seldom better

    very few actually provide an improvement over Stock

    which have been tested to be consistent

    im sure with a BIG Budget ...................................$$$$$$$

    better is only a battered credit card away

    with sooooooo many variables Tyre sizes / compounds

    definitive gains hard to come by
