DIY Brembo or JCW 4 Pots?

I'm considering upgrading the brakes on our R56 S. The choices are either the complete Factory JCW set-up for the front and rear. Or the Brembo GT brake kit, but just for the front.

Prices for both set-ups are similar, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience between the two systems?

I leaning towards the Brembo's as the rear brakes on the R56 S don't really do a lot.

And both brake systems will fit under my 18" OZ Ultraleggera wheels without using spacers, I've already checked.

Any thought's, anyone?

P.

Personally I'd go with the JCW system because it looks better, will shut your dealer up if any problems arise, and I imagine the difference to be negligible unless you're going to take it to the track a lot.
