People shit on the stock brakes all the time on these cars ad I honestly cant see why. They feel fantastic imo. Throw on good pads and fluid and ur in business. I think people who don't have experience fade non-oem pads and say the brakes are trash when either they are overdriving the brakes or they equate pad fade to poor braking. Ive tracked on OEM BMW pads and they feel fine for the most part. Ive done 100+ track days, I race W2W, I know what good brakes feel like. This car has really good brakes.
As far as bar settings, a common misconception is that a stiffer front bar = more understeer and vice versa. McPherson suspension setups actually generate MORE front grip with a bigger front bar as it keeps the inside wheel down instead of letting it lift with a soft bar/setting. I like leaving the rear bar on a soft/medium setting depending on spring rate/tire and adding in as much front bar as I can to find a good balance.
