Besides Brake Pads, you will find that Tires will affect your braking distance the most. Be sure to check your Brake Fluid Level, as if it is low, your Braking Performance will suffer.

I have found that the best combination for braking is as follows:

1. Sticky Tires (Star Specs, RE01R, etc.)
2. Fluid (ATE Super Blue, Motul, etc.)
3. Brake Pads (Do Not Cheap Out On These) (Project Mu, Carbotech, etc.)

If you feel compelled to, you can also get Stainless Braided Brake Lines. These will improve the feel when braking as they don't give to expansion the way the stock lines do.

I thought you already had brake lines and r888's?

I thought you said your s2k braked PERFECTLY as you avoided crashing into a dodge neon in another post..??

s2kwhitepanama

I'd read elsewhere that brake lines don't help our S2K's much but I never tried swapping mine. When was the last time you bled your brakes?

busted.

So do you have tires that cost $60 or $250? Big difference in braking performance.

I was always under the impression that the s2k does in fact have braided brake lines. The braid is just covered by outside coat of rubber. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Terror hit the nail on the head with his first reply though. Do what he says and you will be stopping on a dime.
