Wow, that's a lot of brake! Will the standard lines fasten to those? How big will the rotors be?

Even on a road car, can you ever have enough brakes?

Not really overkill if the cars weight to power potential are equal to the car the brakes came from. You will have to play with front to rear bias a little as I'm sure you know already.

brake posts crack me up . it has nothing do with cars power . has do with wieght of car and speed . And i would rather make a car handle and stop before i make it fast! Its just a street car but i want it look nice and i had the calipers just laying around. Over kill ? why not? better then underkill

Exactly!

A 500 horsepower 2700 pound 951 will get to 150mph a hell of a lot faster than a 250 horsepower 3100 pound 951...but the 3100lb car needs MORE brakes to get back down to 0 mph than the 2700lb car.
