i have used brembo grand turismo brakes on the street and they are very very sensitive and loud. i wouldnt use them on my car. upgrade your brake fluid, pads, and get some steel braided lines and you will be good to go.

i might be wrong, but i never see too much need of a bigger brake for low hp/torque cars... and usually (not always) track or drag cars have 180+whp (200hp at the crank)... i'm not saying there's no stock or low hp cars on track or at drags... but i think those people would prefer better suspension instead of brakes for those kinda hp/torque... again, i might be wrong... but that's just what i thought at first =)
