Just because SWRT uses a certain setup, that doesn't make it the best for your needs. We've already had the NASCAR example. NASCAR teams have tons of money, but their brakes are limited by series rules and the fact that most ovals don't require heavy braking. Similarily, WRC competition and rules may not allow for a brake system that will be useful on the street. I don't know the details on the Alcon's used by SWRT, but I would certainly find out before deeming them the best brakes. Not to mention the likelihood that they'll cost way too much.
