After about a month of ownership, I'm loving my '08 MCS more every day... with one exception: I find the brakes a bit too "grabby". Note: I've got the JCW tuning kit, but the brakes are the standard S brakes.
Any suggestions for upgraded brakes?

I didn't upgrade my brakes,but i did install different pads,went with CarboTech.Definetly alot less brake dust (the reason for the change) and the braking is satisfactory.Q
I have not had any customers have issues with the Warranty however most dealers will not honor the service agreement on the brake system, free pads and rotors, if you change the pads, but many customers tell me they get more miles out of the CT pads and OEM rotors so it all works out for them.
I found that the JCW Sport Brake Kit was a lot less grabby, easier to modulate, and much more braking power.
