A more relevant point is that typically when you lose it during a drift, you had little or no traction at the rear wheels, and then you lost control or traction at the fronts, and a tyre sliding perpendicular to it's designed direction of travel (in the most extreme example of slip angle) isn't going to transfer much braking force before it locks up completely, causing you to skid in the direction of momentum until you slow down.

You may use the brakes to initiate the drift (a jab to transfer weight to the front), if so, you would possibly require a setup that can hold a bit more heat, but again, stock brakes with good fresh fluid and a nice midrange pad (Another advocate of QFM products here btw) should be more than adequate until you have enough experience to begin identifying specific areas of improvement on your own.

My thoughts more or less but you explained it much better than I could have haha. Sweet info.
