For road and track, after DS2500 I now run RC5+ front, RC6 rear, on standard brakes. Thankfully the similar heat/coefficient graph profiles that were shown for them were accurate, so the C6 keeps the extra bite at all heat ranges.... but it is verging on too much at the rear when you really lock all four up. Having said that, it's very close to an equal balance front to rear, where before under hard braking it would always lock the fronts first by a long margin. Adding the 4-way Exige ABS on top last month was the icing on the cake. IMO doesn't now need any bigger brakes unless you're doing many laps of big circuits while using the brakes to the max. I do about 5 hard ones then a cooling lap.

Currently running RC6 front RC5+ rear pure for tracking. When the rears are gone i'm gonna switch them with RC6. But this setup is still not enough for me, after 15min pounding everything gets too hot. Le Mans was a pain for me on the brakes (even one of my cooling ducts melted loose on maison blanche).
