Best mod for me was brake fluid and pads.

I'd like to find a stronger rear caliper though. It just flexes so much.

The killer is that Endless rotors/pads are just so spendy, fine for the street but not so hot for the track. That's the killer with all the BBK upgrades....nice feel and fade but the consumables are just pricy...I'd rather go Carbon Ceramic at that point.

Honestly I'm probably going with a kit built around the new forged wilwoods.



Too bad there are no upgrades for the rear...except those that get rid of the parking brake which is only great for a full race car.

Haha...have you priced carbon ceramic rotors.

I run Cobalt Friction pads for the track, so consumables aren't much at all. Keep in mind that my pads and rotors last a lot longer than I got when I using stock rotos/calipers.

That is so awesome to be able to see the tire deflection, sparks are cool as well but I've got jacked up wheels from that so I'm not really a fan. I can watch videos like that all day long

Bed in carbotechs at night and you can see the sparks fly out the side and above the fenders

i know you can install RSX-R brembo caliper and 04 RL caliper for an upgrade, way cheaper then spoon caliper and imo better!

J's racing has a rear caliper set. I've also heard of using rear nsx calipers on our cars with 350mm rotors.
