not with standard wheels, i have brembos on the front and stll have drums on the back, the stopping is great but im gonna change the back for disk for looks as much as anything, i have heard you will need a brake bias otherwise the back will try over taking you when hard breaking especially if it is lowered.

as long as your wheels are big enough go for it always good to have megger braking power, the bigger the better.
