I think you guys need to stop thinking so much, and start reading up :) OEM Honda brakes - in general - are OK. Nothing more then OK. It goes without saying, on a car like the Jazz, that the breaks are dimensioned for the car - which is - pardon my french - as lazy as a camels ass. Yes - it can be used on track - No - It was never ment for it.Quote:

I would swap out the stock pads for anything more then daily boring driving in the city. For the tracks this isn't an issue. You need better brakepads and you need better discs. THe stock discs will be eaten up on a track after a few laps because they are so soft. You need something stronger. I like the EBC ones because they are cheap, they are forged, and they are zinc-anodized which keeps them go longer. They are ventilated, which prevents overheating. For brakepads I use green EBC's for the street - and Spoons yellow for the track. Only on my ITR did i choose diffrently, and went for Endless Type CC-X Brake Pads.
Short summary: OEM Jazz brakes good for normal street driving - nothing more!

This is true - but I think they are good size for the stock car - not amazing, but better than average. And pretty decent brake fluid - this is one area I haven't seen Honda skimp on. Don't know about Norway but here our fronts are vented discs.Quote:

But, I believe the same wonderful attributes that let the Jazz accelerate and corner on par with bigger competitors, also let it have more than adequate braking performance. Lap after lap, I stood hard on the brake pedal and the car stopped hard every time, the pedal remaining fairly constant in feel after the first couple of laps.
After a couple of these informal trackdays I still had 70-80% remaining on my new (Honda OEM) pads -- I think its fine to come to informal track days with the OEM brakes! After all, was it not Mr Ichishima of Spoon himself said the advantage of the Jazz is moderate tyre and brake wear?
