All of that modification and they keep stock brakes? They're doing it wrong.

The car weighs 2540 pounds.. I think the stock brakes should suffice for such a reduced weight.

...I'm thinking maybe they know what they're doing:

For stopping power, the factory six-piston Brembo front calipers with 13.3" front and 12.75" rear rotors were already over-engineered. With this in mind, Bobby simply added Carbotech pads and Evolution Racewerks stainless lines for a solid pedal feel. Brake cooling was improved with ducts in the front bumper.

Car looks like pure track, impressive project.

The reduced weight and cooling make the stock brakes viable but I would have figured they would have at the very least changed to stainless steel pistons and different rotors.

More so very surprised that the brakes were kept stock considering the rest of the work done.
