V6 brakes are turbo brakes so they will be fine... ish....

Go for the Hi Spec ones if you can though, that is the best option.

V6 fronts, standard rears with braided lines all round and some decent fluid (DOT 5.1) should be fine.

or some 4 pots of some description (wilwood, reyland, hispec etc)

256s provide plenty of braking but heat up quicly with prolonged abuse from high speed.

284/288s provide more than enough braking and survive abuse better

4 pots and 300 mm disks are the best, but twice or more the price of the above, and tbh unless youre using it on track all the time theyre really not worth it
