Brakes VS Hp - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Putting together a list of parts/costs to build a 510 hp street car. Not interested in a track car. I know what the 510 package costs, I know what the ridetech coilover package cost, but where I?m at is wheels/tires and brakes. I know a lot of guys are starting to move to new style 18? 19? rims to clear large calipers. My real question is are large calipers really needed for this setup and the street. New style rims can easily be 6-10k and large caliper brakes start at 3k. I heard some guys using Shelby 18? with stock or grand sport calipers, upgraded rotors, pads and stainless brake lines. My question is what will clear an older style Shelby, OZ or even maybe my 17? stock 90 rims and be the best setup at a reasonable cost. Are any of these options reliable and safe or do I need to plan on large rims and calipers. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions. Thanks.
