Best brakes for 1000bhp M5

Hi all,

Can anyone advise on the best braking system for a BMW F10 M5 pushing 1000BHP?

I currently have stock Brembo front and rear.

However, I have read about the Brembo GT 380 MM or 15" Drilled Rotors - 4 Piston. Are these any good an compatible?

Furthermore, If you upgrade the brake caliber, do you need to upgrade the disc too? For example, the size?

Thanks

AP are the same company owned by Brembo, right?

I highly recommend Pagid RSL29 pads. Stock calipers and discs are fine, they're 400mm as standard. Hel braided lines and decent fluid like Motul RBF or Castrol SRF are also very worthwhile.
