Guess which brakes found their way onto the new ALMS M3???
"Front brake system: Six-piston aluminium brake calipers, inner-vented grey-cast iron brake disks 380mm in diameter
Rear brake system: Four-piston aluminium brake calipers, grey-cast iron brake disk, 332mm in diameter"
If the stock hardware is so good, why didn't they use it???... 
Be good,

race car vs. street car. why they used them on the ALMS car:
1) much more resistant to fade.
2) less weight,
3) easier to change brake pads.
you will not need upgraded calipers on the M3 - they only thing you will need for the track is track pads.
