Have you missed the Brembo badge on your brakes? Dude you already have brembos!
It's a Type R were talkin bout here!

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?
