Why do you think it's must have? If you've run a current M2 with upgraded track pads and fluid was there ever a situation where you felt the current brakes weren't up to the job? If so can you please explain with data why they weren't up to snuff like rotor temps etc?

I've run the "standard" brakes with RBF600 and DTC70's on Slicks/Hoosiers in 130F+ track temps lap after lap at intense braking tracks like COTA with no issues (mid 600 to mid 700 rotor temps) with no fade.

I'd love to not have 35 pounds of extra unsprung weight for no reason, not to mention the extra weight from the 19" wheels and tires you'll be forced to run.
