Mine is on the dc5 brembo kit but noticed a lot of brake squeal. Pretty good bite when warm but could be better. Didn't notice that much of a difference from the standard brakes

Interesting. Is that on standard discs? I was running slotted rotors on my DC5 which maybe helped with initial bite? I agree that pedal feel is more Oem with the DC5 setup. They always felt the perfect balance to me. Not too much bite but progressive/nicely modulated with plenty of stopping power when you really needed it.
I think the additional bite with my setup is due to the increase in piston size in the caliper. I haven't really done anything other than feather them since fitting. Partly for the initial run in process and partly just because for daily driving thats all thats needed!
I did a lot of research as I was concerned with brake bias but looking at the Megane RS its a similar vehicle weight to the FN2 and the master cylinder size appeared to be on par too. To mimic the megane more closely you could argue I need bigger rotors at the back but I'd rather not add any more unnecessary unsprung weight. The advice I was given is every car is slightly different, even across the same model. So will see how they are once bedded in more and take it from there. Kits like the Stoptech kit are apparently completely balanced with the oem rear brakes so I can't see what I'm running being a million miles away.
