Default Help, what is the best brake option for S197

Needs your help guys,

Came off the track last Sunday and on Monday, I heard a hissing sound coming from the back, I check and notice the left rear brake pads were gone, metal on metal with the rotors and has scrapped off a substantial part of the rotors, I am keen to change the rear brakes, I have Brembo 6 piston GT big brakes up front and I don't think they make anything that matches the rear. Can any brothers out there give me some advice of a very good kit that includes park brake for the rear. I would like to change, Calipers and rotors for the rear.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Turn your traction controll off at the track. It uses the rear brakes.

You could also get a proportioning valve so that you can change the front/rear brake bias.
