Brembo Big Brake Kit on a Series 2?
I've read that RX8s come from the factory fitted with excellent brakes. My 2009 GT has 36,000 miles and I think it may be time to replace the pads and possibly the rotors. Besides the stellar looks of Brembos, would the investment of roughly $2,800 provide noticeable gains in braking performance? I plan to only upgrade the front so I'm think of selecting the silver ones so I don't have to paint the back calipers to match. There are other less expensive brands so please offer your recommendations if you have them installed on your RX8. I have 18"x9" Enkei PF01 wheels which should have ample clearance for the larger calipers.

What a waste of money....You don't need Brembo's.

As one of the posters previously mentioned, if you track often and hard, a Racing Brake BBK can be a good upgrade.
They will deal with extreme heat better than the OEM brakes. I know, mine have been on fire on track and yet haven't faded or warped.
If you don't track often or at all, you probably don't really need a BBK.
But hey, they do look great, and that may be all the reason one needs!
