Brembo 19RCS...worth it?

Depends on the bike, as in what you're replacing. The '15 RSV4 has an upgraded OEM Brembo, and couldn't possibly be any better. Same with the '15 BMW (unlike the earlier models). On the earlier bikes, it would be a worthwhile upgrade. It would be particularly useful on, say a Gen 4 ('11 - '15) ZX10R, where the stock brakes were pretty poor. If you'd just bought the 2016 ZX10R, you'd be unlikely to notice a large benefit.

In descending order of importance to braking performance, I reckon it goes something like:
40% pads
25% M/C
20% discs
10% fluid
5% lines

What about the r6s mate no complaints with my setup just curious if you think its a nice upgrade.

I have one of each on my R6's. I do prefer the overall feel of the RCS, I've got mine set like a switch!!
That was one of the biggest changed from the Gixxer when I swapped. All my markers were miles out!!

You'll get a lot more bang for your buck with pads. The OEM R6 m/c is fine. As Owen says, there's probably a 'feel' improvement, but some people prefer the softer, more progressive feel of the stock setup.

I confess to being a little disappointed when I first fitted the RCS to the R6. It wasn't as good as an improvement as I was expecting for the coin (ie it made no noticeable difference, and cost a fortune).

Pads, pads and pads. Let me say it again. If you haven't upgraded your pads yet, do that before any super-exxy m/c upgrade. It makes waaaaaaay more difference. Vesrah SRJL
