    Can anyone recommend aftermarket brakes for the F40. Mine gets both road and some track use and the stock brakes really do not inspire a lot of confidence. Thanks.

    I'm with you on that,, stock F40 brakes are far worse than stock Chevy Tahoe brakes :)

    I installed a Brembo F50 kit on mine & no more squeeks & the car actually stops but you have to be a little aggressive w the pedal, or maybe the pads just have to be well heated. I've only driven on the road since I installed mine so I never really heated the pads up

    The new Brembo F50 kit for the F40 allows you to use same master cylinder

    Does the F50 kit fit in the standard 17 inch wheels or did you have go to 18's.
    Also, if you don't mind, where did you get the kit from and who did the work?

    You can use a 360 Challenge brake set up on an F40. Works awesome.
