FWIW, Dog is supercharged, pushing 400+ at the wheels. He's hitting speeds a little higher than a stock C2. I'm sure it's not an issues of "enough" brake, but sufficient margin beyong "enough"

That being said, I agree that the stock system is probably up to the task with the right pads, fluid, and cooling. Once my C2 was setup properly, I never had a problem slowing the car and could repeatedly generate over 1.4Gs under braking at ECR without fade.

himself is correct. My car is supercharged with an upgraded suspension. I always feel like I'm pushing the brakes 10/10th's. It would be nice to have a little margin of extra stopping power, just in case

The GT3 front brakes will give you that margin.

I've been poking around. Can't figure out what it takes to make that happen. I found a complete set of GT3 brakes, but I'm not sure what's all involved (wheel bearings, carriers, uprights, etc..) that you need to convert it.

You need the wheel carriers/uprights from the gt3 to make it work

some will say you need the master cylinder as well, others will tell you it's not necessary
