You'll be fine on the street unless you're a complete loon. The big brakes which I love are really for track use or just to look cool.

It's good to know that stock brake are able to handle that amount of added power.
I might go for FRPP kit though.

You could have a billion horsepower and stopping from (for example) 60mph would be the same as stopping from 60mph with 50hp...

The need for more brakes with more power is like 908ssp said, for the track. The faster you can be at the braking point of each corner (because of more power), the more brake you need to slow you down to the cornering speed, and do so at every corner, without getting overloaded with heat.

The second part of the equation is your tire choice. Brakes have one purpose, transfer friction into heat. Tires is what stops your car. Throwing a BBK on the car can actually hurt your performance if you don't have proper brake bias and tires with enough CoF to stop your car.

I'm leaning towards netto invo, once I mange to make my mind up on the wheels!
