imho, 256mm "16 v" brakes. with good pads and discs are more than enough to stop a nova driven in anger

m1144's are good for fast road use and light track use
1155's are more for track rapings lol

are v6 brakes not a tad heavy considering you dont really need them on such a light car. if i was you id want to keep my unsprung weight to a minimum if ur looking for a track day car that handles

concentrate on getting a good disk and pad combo for 16v calipers.
