In Reply To	Any experience with the CTS-V setup? I used to want R32 GTR posted by nissubaru on July 31, 2019 at 01:05 PM
Message	I have run with stock brakes and Stoptech 13". Even with 13" Stoptechs and street pads, I noticed significant fade on a road course. Swap them to track pads and it was significantly better, whether stock calipers or a BBK. I only went with larger brakes on the car I run on the road course for better thermal capacity with the larger rotor.
