    If you've got an AusDM DC5 forget about Brembo, go for the Spoon. If you want the Brembo, you have to change the sway bar, Lower control arm and rotor too.

    1. I don't see where it says he has a Type R in the first post
    2. AUDM DC5R doesn't come with brembos

    Before upgrading your calipers try changing your pads, lines, and fluid. SS lines made a big difference for me, feels awesome!

    If u take ur car to the track, spoon and brembos are the way to go. Consider Project Mu brakes too i have seen them done on DC5. But if u dont take ur car to the track then brembos are a just wank factor because the stock brakes can do the same job. If u want a more agressive bite and feel then i go for braided lines, upgraded pads, slotted rotors and a master cylinder brace.

    The standard braking is quite poor under load. It's a single pot caliper. The cheapest way is to upgrade the pads & better brake fluid see if that will be a little better than stock.

    What are you trying to compare the brakes against?
