yup that's me hehe. we have the same taste in cars hahaha

How does the handling compare to an MX5?
Considering you've driven both?

[Philip Lee]

the handling is very different.

i had the NA6 which was the oldest original MX5.

stock wise, i have to say the EP3 is better. obviously with all the years of development. chassis is stronger/stiffer and slightly less bodyroll. with the LSD you can put the power down early exiting corner.

however EP3 might be quicker but MX5 is more fun do drive. u can't beat rwd and (close to) 50:50 weight distribution etc etc.

i have to say they are different cars with different driving experience. for me a more powerful MX5 would be ideal but since i need to carry the kids now, mx5 is out of the question. i enjoy my EP3 just the same.

How does the S2000 compare to the MX5 (slightly off the topic)

I would have an S2000 any day over an MX5 due to looks, as I have never driven either

s2000 stock vs mx5 stock is way better in power and handling, as both of them are actually designed as soft tops and not a hard top re engineered for a soft top both there handling is great mx5's only downfall is the lack of power

I got dba 4000 series slotted front rotors and ferodo ds2500hc pads front and rear

Car stops alot more better.

Pads are abit dusty though but expected because they are sports brake pads

[Philip Lee]

if u don't mind, how much did this setup cost you?

did you just do front only or all 4?

thanks
