Have you tried getting better pads and fluid? I use standard rotors and calipers, and have enough braking power for the track. It's all in the pad.

And maybe braided brake lines??
Ps. what happened to the lights string?

I don't think there will be much difference between braided and rubber brake lines to be honest - who knows, you might look cooler though.

Oh ok,i thought that it might be better than 20 year old rubber but you learn something new every day

braided lines help with pedal feel, particlarly when you are pushing hard in a track environment and the brake fluid reaches high temperature, causing the rubber lines to balloon and create inconsistance pressure in the pedal...

it wont help you pull up on the street... maybe on the track after 10 hot laps.

u know the caliper, the thing that.. pushes the brake ..
the one u got in there is honda one.. its very good.. unfortuntaely ONE OF myn broke. so rather than getting stockies again i just got a brand name one, its slightly bigger mechanic said he had bit of a mission putting it in. but yeh now if i left foot brake my car stops.. so fast my belt barely holds me lol.

Brembo is lyk some.. american brand i tihnk? like sony.. or.. skunk2 its just aftermarket.. brand.
