Here you go, this is a
"brake setup vs brake setup" comparison, not an overall car study
- so this ignores everything other than the caliper/pad/disc.
Here are four example setups that work, as well as the original Rev 1 and and Rev 2> numbers.
Standard Rev 1 Mk2:
Standard Rev 2 Mk2:
The Rev 2 was fitted to my car and used as a starting reference, including a few laps of the Nurburgring.

.so that's the standard cars, here are the upgraded options.

Rev 2 rear brakes matched with 298.5mm disc
/ 1.38" piston WMS kit, what most people would use I'd have thought:
This setup was tested by me on my own car, in a range of conditions from summer to winter, and also at Brands hatch.
Rev 1 rear brakes matched with 298.5mm disc
/ 1.25" piston WMS kit, handy to know it works:
-------------- the ones below don't have a handbrake
(WMS 4 pot front and rear) so are full-race only
-----------------
Maintains bais, might have a soft pedal:
Increases front bias, medium pedal:
Increases rear bias, best pedal:
The race F+R kit has been used and was a huge improvement on a car in the Nippon Challenge, and a WMS kit helped a TVR Tasmin to win the 2011 Dunlop TVR Challenge Championship outright, beating much more modern TVRs in the process.
