Default 2000 XJ8 Asteroid upgrade question.

Putting some asteroids on my base 2000 is it necessary to upgrade the brake pads to Brembo for best performance?
Cheers

You could upgrade to the regular XJR disks and calipers, for a slight upgrade, but you don't need (or want) to upgrade to the R1 Brembo calipers, as they won't fit under the Asteroids
