IMHO, for most street applications, the stock brakes should be fine. After all, in PCA F-Class stock class racing, the orginal brake calipers must be used. Besides, one of the biggest factors in braking is the friction between the tires and the road.

Now, if one wants to simply put big brakes on a car, then there are all sorts of options. Some options depend on the amount of maintenance one wants to perform. I have an Outlaw set of front brakes on the 3.6 SC and I have been very pleased. The main reason for the upgrade is the pad life since the SC sees some DE time.
