After chatting with the ever-helpful guys at FT86 SpeedFactory, I have modified my order to their Stage 2 Brake Package.

2 - DBA Front Slotted T3 Rotors
1 - HAWK HP+ Front Brake Pad Set
1 - HAWK HPS Rear Brake Pad Set
1 - StopTech Stainless Line Kit Front
1 - StopTech Stainless Line Kit Rear
1 - Motul 1/2L Brake Fluid DOT 5.1

I did already add 4 bottles of Motul 600 to my order and that is what I will likely be running on the 19th.

Lower cf rear brake compound? Odd choice. I'd go with even OR more rear brake due to how little the rear brakes are utilized.

If they can get me the parts fast enough early next week, I may have the opportunity to test out the braking balance at another Solo event. It would be worth the drive to find out how the car behaves BEFORE I go to RA on the 19th.

I have the Stop Tech 328mm front kit and love it to death. Most people like hitting boost, I like hitting the brakes.
