Default Brake Setups - Discs/Pads/Calipers

I am collecting some information for a project I am doing and I was wondering if anyone could help.

I am trying to find out who uses what brake setups for road and track use.

What type of discs, pads, calipers, brake hoses do you all have? Do any of you have conversions etc.

Any info would be great

What's your use gonna be? As Brembo calipers are a good set up with right pad combination

Busta moves:

Saw a post from you saying you have used cl pads in the past. What discs?

Ive got gold brembos on an 03 JDM sti and am looking for a new combo for road and track. Not often on track but pretty heavy when I go.

Wear is also an issue.

Thanks

I used Brembo discs as they are made of a better steel/grey iron for better friction and longlivety, (the price diffrence is obvious) although other discs would be ok but not sure on the life span of them tbh as these pads can munch up discs and maybe a bit hardcore for rd, but if your like me and don't care as long as you know you have something that performs well.
Also pads are dusty and squeaky at low speeds stop start traffic. But if you can get past that then they are top, best I've used so far (carbotech is a option too)
Regards
